Armenia’s former presidential candidate Hrant Bagratyan, who has polled 2.15% at the February 18 presidential elections, has made a Facebook post calling on the re-elected president Serzh Sargsyan and Heritage party leader Raffi Hovhannisian to sit at the table of negotiations.
Hovhannisian claims that the elections have been rigged and people have voted for him.
"For another time we have had not free and not fair elections and the Freedom square is again full of people. The experience of 1996, 2003 and 2008 showed that the people mutiny in case of not reaching success in a constitutional way. People want to be the owners of their vote. It is a frank and constitutional demand. I have always thought that in case of impossibility of making changes legally revolutionary actions are unavoidable. This time though the situation is quite other. I see wish of the candidates of authorities and opposition to negotiate. I call on Raffi Hovhannisian and Serzh Sargsyan to immediately sit at the table of negotiations and try to find ways out of the situation, otherwise it will be impossible to avoid escalation and clashes. No one should treat my call as inappropriate interference or an ordered provocation. The two parties may at the same time continue their program of actions. I am just sure that even a common meeting may change a lot. There is such a chance and it would have been wrong to miss it," he wrote.
Raffi Hovhannisian conducted yesterday a rally in the Freedom Square and stated that he would spend the night in the square and wait for Serzh Sargsyan for him to transfer the power to people.
According to the initial results of the Central Election Commission, Serzh Sargsyan has polled 58.64% and Raffi Hovhannisian 36.75%.
