Ex-candidate Hovannisian says parliament speaker "no mediator"

The ex-candidate in Armenia's presidential elections, Heritage party leader Raffi Hovannisian sees the visit of parliament speaker Hovik Abrahamyan as a mere courtesy call in an attempt to solve current situation.

As the ex-candidate, who's staged a hunger strike, noted "Abrahamyan can't be serving as a mediator between President Sargsyan and me. I'm ready to consider spoken or written suggestions from Sargsyan, yet Abrahamyan is not in a position to make any me offers."
