YEREVAN, FEBRUARY 20, NOYAN TAPAN. The preelection headquarters of
RA presidential candidate Levon Ter-Petrosian does not recognize
the results published by the Central Electoral Commission and
demands holding new elections. Nikol Pashinian, a member of the
candidate’s central headquarters, stated at the February 20 rally
near Matenadaran. In his words, the Armenian people has elected its
President and that President is L. Ter-Petrosian. "Our struggle has
no stop until the final victory. We will never entrust the Republic
of Armenia and our children to the power of Kocharian-Serge hyenas,"
N. Pashinian stated.
As he evaluated, L. Ter-Petrosian’s empowered persons "were not
in polling stations, they were at a war, they fought against
Serge-Kocharian criminal bashibuzuks, they fought for the sake of
Armenia’s freedom. "We should prove that their struggle was sensible,
the struggle was victorious, and we have no right to entrust the
fruits of that struggle to Kocharian-Serge hyenas," N. Pashinian said.
Aram Karapetian, the Chairman of the Nor Zhamanakner (New Times)
party, stated that after the "beating and fight" they will stand
until the end and will stand as long to show their victory."
It should be mentioned that the speeches were periodically interrupted
with the words "Levon President," "Sergik, Go Away!," as well as
"Haylur, Go Away!" voiced by the rally participants.
