The candidate for president tells about the reason for going to strangers’ weddings and funeral services
“Is it correct that you attended the funeral service for a stranger in Goris, sat down with your eyes filled with tears, expressed your condolences within the framework of the election campaign?” www.aravot.am asked Raffi Hovhannisyan, a candidate for president, this question today. He replied: “Yes, it is correct that I went, but it is not correct that I did it within the framework of the election campaign. When I had meetings with our volunteers in mid-January, we went to towns and noticed human rights violations; we were persecuted, and our volunteers were filmed by the security service. I entered both houses of joy – for a gathering – and houses of mourning. This is my fatherland. I did the right thing that I attended both a wedding – I should say, many weddings – and a funeral, a sad event. I just said that we had come together,
but not within the framework of the campaign. It was in mid-January, before the campaign.”
Let us mention that Aram Harutyunyan, a candidate for president told journalists that Raffi Hovhannisyan had attended the funeral service for a stranger in Goris.
