Heritage party leader meets Bundestag President

PanARMENIAN.Net - Heritage party leader, former presidential candidate Raffi Hovannisian met Thursday, March 7 with Norbert Lammert, President of the Bundestag.

During their one-hour meeting, Hovannisian and Lammert discussed the extraordinary situation created in Armenia after the February 18 presidential vote, the ex-candidate’s campaign headquarters reported.

“The will of the Armenian people must be respected,” Hovannisian said, “and in view of its own track record of facing its own history of genocide and becoming a leader in the democratic world, the Federal Republic of united Germany, instead of supporting authoritarianism and fraudulent elections, might respect the democratic movement and the clear-cut will of the people expressed on February 18.”
