Raffi Hovannisian: Armenia needs revolution – constitutional and legal
Armenia needs a revolution – a revolution of mind and soul, regarding the national future, but within the Constitution, the leader of Heritage Party Raffi Hovannisian stated today at the joint rally of three parliamentary non-coalition parties in Liberty Square of Yerevan.
“The revolution will be constitutional, legal and real,” he said.
R. Hovannisian said he respects the leader of Armenian National Congress (HAK), first President of Armenia Levon Ter-Petrosyan, although it is not always that he shares Ter-Petrosyan’s views on some issues.
According to Raffi Hovannisian, although there are a number of differences among those standing on this platform, they urge all the political and civil forces of the country “to unite in order to rescue Armenia and restore constitutional order”.
He said that as earlier, he proposes to achieve political consolidation, “share power with the people” and form an interim government, and demand resignation of the current authorities.
“By consistent, everyday pressure of the people, we should organize early parliamentary and presidential elections, fair elections, by April 24, 2015. It is popular demand,” Raffi Hovannisian declared.
