Hovannisian to reply President Sargsyan’s letter Mar 26

The ex-candidate in Armenia’s presidential elections, Heritage party leader Raffi Hovannisian, who’s been on a hunger strike for 15 days, said he’ll reply to the letter from President Serzh Sargsyan tomorrow, March 26.

To find a solution to current situation Hovannisian suggested Sargsyan apply to Constitutional Court. “Let him demand for ballot boxes to be opened; they‘re reluctant to do it as they know in their hearts it’s people who won,” Hovannisian said.

Earlier, President Sargsyan responded Hovannisian’s letter.

“I am thankful to you for finally accepting the offer I made during our meeting and expressing your ideas. Though your statement runs counter to the true vision on state-building and constitution, it may foster establishment of an effective dialogue. I highly assess your readiness to assume serious monitoring functions which befit strong opposition. I am confident that we will achieve results, if we work together, based on our common visions.

I urge you to stop the hunger strike, recuperate for a day or two and we will start working seriously together, expressing our ideas quietly, without shows, even in consideration of your incondite exposition,” President Sargsyan’s letter said.
