Heritage party leader, Armenian presidential candidate Raffi Hovannissian has voiced confidence for the public to regain power through struggle.

“It’s Armenian people’s struggle, choice between presence and future, light and shadow. It’s by no means a choice between Sezh Sargsyan and Raffi Hovannissian, or other candidate,” with these words Mr Hovannissian launched his campaign.

He said that letters had been passed to the current leader Serzh Sargsyan, National Security Service (NSS) head Gorik Hakobyan and police chief Vladimir Gasparyan, urging them to respect the law.

The candidate further pledged to issue appropriate response in case of obvious election violations, addressed to Armenian citizens and international community.
