ArmInfo. RA presidential contender Levon Ter-Petrosyan intends to
appeal to the Constitutional Court on February 25 and protest the final
results of the presidential election, announced today by RA Central
Election Commission, Levon Ter- Petrosyan said at the continuing rally
of his supporters at Liberty Square in Yerevan.

He said that the appeal to the Constitutional Court will give 10-15
days, at least, to the people’s movement for achievement of the final
goal, that is, return of the power to the people. L. Ter-Petrosyan
called today’s decision of RA CEC on proclamation of Serzh Sargsyan a
winner of the presidential election the "next stupidity". "The robber’s
state considers that it has won, but this is a Pyrrhic victory". I do
not imagine how Serzh Sargsyan intends to govern our proud people,
which does not want to recognize him", the presidential contender said.
L. Ter-Petrosyan criticized again the international observers’ actions.
He said that they differ from Armenia’s residents by the fact that they
gained the democracy by inheritance, meanwhile the Armenian citizens
obtained democracy with their own hands. "Yes, we claim of our
adherence to the western values, however, this is not a political but
rather a philosophic category and we do this not to please somebody. In
politics, the western politicians strive to keep stability, however,
this stability sometimes bears Saddam Husseins. Saddam Hussein was born
today in Armenia. Do not so for you to establish democracy in Armenia
later by means of tanks", L. Ter- Petrosyan said. He expressed hope
that the world community will show sanity regarding recognition of the
presidential election results.

As for the further steps, L. Ter-Petrosyan asked his supporters not to
break up and the students to continue boycotting the lessons.
