18:07 ~U 11.03.13
Politicians, public and cultural figures keep visiting the
hunger-striking Heritage party’s leader who was the main opposition
candidate in the February 18 presidential election.
Raffi Hovhannisian, who considers himself a de-facto winner in the
polls, declared the hunger-strike on Sunday evening after a rally at
Yerevan’s Liberty Square.
Margarit Yesayan of the ruling Republican Party faction, who met the
senior oppositionist today, said in a conversation with Tert.am that
she had come there to express her support to the protesting former
candidate as a woman, freend and as a parliament member.
The leader of the People’s Party of Armenia, Stepan Demirchyan,
was at Liberty Square minutes ago, but he refrained from telling
journalists what he had recommended the politician.
Lawmakers of the Prosperous Armenia Party, Vardan Oskanian and Gurgen
Arsenyan, had earlier visited the former candidate.
