Raffi Hovannisian Visits Disabled, Calls for National Awakening on Election Day
Yerevan–Raffi K. Hovannisian today met with members of the National
Alliance for Protection of the Rights of Persons with Disabilities,
where he delivered a plan for overcoming the difficulties of the
disabled by integrating them fully into society.
Hovannisian then went to the villages of Musaler, Khoronk, Arshaluys,
Haytagh, and Geghakert in the Armavir region. At each stop Hovannisian
met with voters, voicing his vision of agrarian development. `The
village needs to be modernized with vital elements of infrastructure,
which requires an increase in loans and subsidies,’ Hovannisian said.
`None of this is possible without a supportive state system. If the
situation doesn’t change soon, the villages will empty out.’
Hovannisian’s last stop in the region was the spiritual capital of
Armenia–Ejmiatsin, where a large crowd of supporters packed the town
hall. `Today we are witnessing a national awakening,’ he said in his
address. `On February 18, the Armenian people will restore the power
that belongs to them and become masters of their homeland.’
Later in Yerevan Raffi Hovannisian met with Alexander Tsinker,
president of the International Center for Electoral Systems and 15th
Knesset member. Hovannisian and Tsinker discussed issues with the
electoral process, including the violations that have already been
recorded.
