Singer Forsh is happy that the youth are interested in the results of the election, but he doesn’t support the student strike. “The student strike is a way of playing hooky. They want to play hooky and look for an opportunity to do that,” the singer said. Talking about the civil movement’s demands to boycott the results of the election and its rallies, he said that he hadn’t even managed to find out who had been elected. “I haven’t been in the Republic. I have just come back, a short while ago…; who has been elected?” Then he added that he was pleased with Serzh Sargsyan’s reelection, because “it is better that he is president; he has been governing this country for 4 years now and has been around. That man knows what he is doing.” According to Forsh, citizens who have rallied to Raffi Hovhannisyan are people who need empty words. “I respect and love Raffi Hovhannisyan; he is a good man, but empty words are said there.”
