    RAFFI HOVHANNISIAN MEETS SUPPORTERS IN ARARAT - VIDEO

    TERT.AM
    20:20 ~U 01.04.13

    Continuing his tour to different regions of Armenia, former
    presidential candidate Raffi Hovhannisian went to the town of Ararat
    on Friday afternoon to speak of the post-electoral developments.

    Addressing the people gathered in the square, the opposition Heritage
    party's leader said he wanted a meeting with the town's mayor, Abraham
    Babayan, who, as Hovhannisian claimed, had earlier promised to expel
    him from Ararat once he appeared there.

    "This is our town, our land and our country, so no one will expel us
    from our town. Anyone threatening an expulsion must himself to be
    banished to a place where he deserves to be," the former candidate
    said.

    Then giving the floor to Zaruhi Postanjyan, a member of the opposition
    Heritage faction in parliament, he once again insisted on a meeting
    with the Ararat mayor. "If he wants to come to a debate or fulfill his
    promise, I am here," he said.

    In her speech, Postanjyan reiterated their leader's earlier remark of
    what the opposition considers to be the inauguration of new Armenia"
    (the April 9 inauguration day which the opposition claims should mark
    Raffi Hovhannisian's swearing-in ceremony).

    "We must serve April 9, the new Armenia inauguration day. We all will
    unanimously gather in Liberty Square at 11:00 o'clock that day. We
    have a good opportunity to say on April 9 that power belongs to the
    Armenian people," said she, warning all local governors to refrain
    from threatening their population.

    Speaking again, the former candidate said many mayors and regional
    administrators in Armenia think their community's property belongs to
    them.

    "The mayor or the community governor could have done a good job in the
    past, but they are standing against their own people today.

    The people have now decided that they are coming to power," he added.

    Hovhannisian said he has no doubt that April 9 will mark the
    inauguration of his "New Armenia". "I am sure there will be no closed
    road. That's something for our country's future. We have headed
    towards February 18 to record the victory which you and we have
    brought together," he said, promising to make Armenia a leading and
    prosperous country on the global and regional level.
