Deputy chairman of the opposition Heritage party Ruben Hakobyan does not rule out possible protests in the streets in case election outcomes are forged.

“People are running short of patience; if we see apparent cases of violation on election day, I’m sure not only Heritage but the civil society representatives will go into streets to protect their rights,” he told a press conference on May 3.

Hakobyan emphasized it’s early to speak about it now, before elections are held.
