After the “Heritage” party’s conference was over, leader of the “Heritage” party, former Foreign Minister of Armenia Raffi Hovannisian, answered the journalists’ question, about his opinion on the implementation of the “velvet revolution” fixed in the congressional resolution. “It is a constitutional revolution, that is a revolution which has not yet taken place in Armenia. The constitution should be implemented with the pressure and active participation of the people since the issue is not solved through electoral processes”, said Raffi Hovannisian.
In response to the question, “May it take place next April when Serzh Sargsyan is to decide whether to stay in power or not?”, Raffi Hovannisian said, “Yes, perhaps it will take place in April. He has changed a lot… He was a freedom fighter, but what has changed in him that he is now resorting to fraud? If he does not convert to his past, and if this continues, I have no doubt that based on fraudulent elections, he will wish to extend his power”.
According to Hovannisian, people should finally gain a republic through the fight, and not a “serzh-state” or a “party-state, “Spring will be the next phase of power occupation, which gives the opportunity of raising a new civil wave”.
