Stepan Safaryan: Our February 18 victory will be senseless without our second step

Heritage leader Raffi Hovannisian and his supporters continue their regional tour. Today they will visit Alaverdi, Vanadzor, Spitak, Aparan and Ashtarak. 

In a meeting with residents of the city of Noyemberyan, Tavush region, Heritage member Stepan Safaryan said that they demand the power “which belongs to the people, to the residents of Noyemberyan, to every citizen of this region.” According to him, on February 18, the people made a decisive choice.

“That choice needs your protection, and our February 18 victory will be senseless without our second step,” Safaryan said, adding that he hopes those gathered will not allow anyone to steal their victory.

Former presidential candidate Raffi Hovannisian Hovannisian disagrees with the results of the February 18 presidential elections in Armenia and has been leading mass protest actions. Hovannisian was on hunger strike at Liberty Square of Yerevan from March 10 to March 31.

Raffi Hovannisian’s headquarters reported last week that on April 1, Hovannisian will launch a four-day regional tour, for what he called a “national enlistment campaign,” during which he will recruit a citizens’ army for the liberation of the New Armenia.
