Ex-president of Armenia: rallies are likely after elections
May 6, 2012 – 17:49 AMT
PanARMENIAN.Net – Ex-president of Armenia, leader of the opposition
Armenian National Congress (ANC) Levon Ter-Petrossian commented on the
violations occurring during May 6 parliamentary vote which the
interparty anti-forgery headquarters has registered.
The headquarters comprises ANC, Prosperous Armenia party and ARF Dashnaktsutyun.
`We will do the same as we did during all other elections: appeal
against violations using all legal methods,’ Ter-Petrossian said
adding that opposition forces used to act independently while now they
are united.
When asked by journalists whether rallies may be held after the
voting, he said rallies are also a legal method of struggle.
Asked whether upheavals like those in 2008 are possible, opposition
leader offered the journalists to address the authorities with such
question because the opposition did not violate the law back in 2008,
and statements of the international structures’ representatives come
to prove this.
