Public figure, ethnographer Hranush Kharatyan came to the news
conference with high mood saying it is agreed with the unexpected
election outcome.
“I saw and became very proud of our people for finding enough strength
to overcome the alarm and pressures by the authorities and vote in
another way,” she said.
Kharatyan noted that the elections had such outcome despite the
opposition splits, disputes during the election campaign, despite the
circumstance that Raffi Hovhannisian did not have any real or serious
resource and without serious engagement in the election commissions.
“Even if to calculate these votes, it obviously shows that our people
have really found strength to vote in another way,” she said, noting
that it is a psychological victory.
Hranush Kharatyan said she is convinced that at least second round
of elections was to take place.
Kharatyan said she does not know the way Raffi Hovhannisian will
choose but it is obvious that people expect struggle.
“There are x number of people in the square, there are those who are
not in the square but have joined the people. I do not know how Raffi
Hovhannisian will meet these expectations but I think a real struggle
has started,” she said.
