YEREVAN. – Ruling Republican Party of Armenia (RPA) secretary, deputy Parliament Speaker Edward Sharmazanov commented on RPA leader and Armenia’s incumbent President Serzh-Sargsyan meeting with opposition Heritage Party leader Raffi Hovannisian and the latter’s statement.

“Honestly I wished to know about the history, which Hovannisian had promised to tell the people during the Thursday meeting with the Armenian president. However, what I heard, was very strange as it seemed like The President has replied ‘no’ for three times, while the opposition leader has claimed about election violations demanding that the guilty should be punished to which the President kept silent. If things go like this, I will have to state what the two had talked for about an hour in reality, as Hovannisian did not make it properly no matter we believed,” Sharmazanov said.

Earlier the Armenian News-NEWS.am has reported that Hovannisian said he offered the head of the state several compromise solutions. The main was a demand that Central Electoral Commission must cancel election results and recognize people’s victory which suggests holding election re-run. However, Sargsyan gave a negative response.

He also offered Sargsyan to hold snap election on proportional system but was met by a refusal again.

“After all my proposals were rejected, I have to say that we will continue the struggle until victory is ours,” Hovannisian emphasized.
