YEREVAN. – Former presidential candidate Raffi Hovannisian said he is not recognizing authority of the OSCE Minsk Group.

After the OSCE Minsk Group countries congratulated Serzh Sargsyan on his victory in the presidential elections, “after these shameful and rigged elections,” he is not recognizing the authority of OSCE Minsk Group, opposition leader said during a rally of his supporters in Liberty Square.

“Let them do what they want, but they no longer have anything to do with Armenia or Karabakh,” he said.

Former candidate promised to make a major statement at Sunday’s rally in Liberty Square at 5:00 pm, apparently in an effort to once again stir up an additional interest in the event. Hovannisian said his ultimate goal is unity of Armenia, Diaspora and Karabakh.

The next to take the floor was opposition leader’s wife Armenuhi Hovannisian who delivered a speech about love and victory.
