The Armenian opposition delivered an ultimatum to the authorities. They urge to annul the results of the presidential election, schedule a new election and provide air on the Armenian Public Television. They also demand to initiate criminal cases against those responsible for falsifications of the election process and beating of opposition representatives.

Ter-Petrosyan's supporters put the blame on "the relatives of Deputy Prime Minister Hovik Abrahamyan, RPA faction member Ruben Hayrapetyan and head of Kotayk region administration Kovalenko Shahgaldyan.

They called on students to boycott classes and promised to look in every dismissal taken place during the recent months, IA Regnum reports.

The oppositionists said they will hold protest actions round the clock. Ter-Petrosyan's election staff head Nikol Pashinyan said Liberty Square will become "the headquarters of protest actions."

Artur Baghdassaryan's staff head Heghine Bisharyan also addressed the demonstrators, who continue their action although it was declared unauthorized.
