YEREVAN.- Armenian presidential candidate Raffi Hovannisian, who is on a trip to Armenia’s regions, commented on the statement of Levon Ter-Petrosyan, leader of opposition Armenian National Congress bloc.

Speaking about yesterday’s rally in support of Hovannisian, opposition bloc leader said “Raffi Hovannisian did not start, the people started [these rallies]; they came to Liberty Square and are voicing their protest against these authorities.” Ter-Petrosyan stressed that the protesters have not yet taken action.

Hovannisian shared Ter-Petrosyan’s opinion that it was the rally initiated by the people of Armenia.

“He is right. People demand justice. I am acting together with people. As to difference between words and deeds, he also has to think about it. But, he is right saying that it is people’s struggle, not my own,” he emphasized.
