YEREVAN. – The wellness of Armenia’s opposition Heritage Party Chairman, former FM Raffi Hovannisian—who is declared runner-up to the winner, incumbent President Serzh Sargsyan, as a result of the presidential election that was conducted on February 18, but who claims to be the real winner in the vote and who declared a hunger strike on March 10 at capital city Yerevan’s Liberty Square—is very good, Hovannisian himself told Armenian News-NEWS.am.    

He added that there have been thousands of civic visits during the day and this is very important for him.  

To the query as to whether the Presidential Residence has responded to his letter, Heritage’s leader responded that he has nothing more to add.  

Those that had gathered at Liberty Square, however, were positive about Hovannisian’s propositions in connection with assuming eight governmental posts in return for recognizing Sargsyan’s presidency. The youth were noting that Hovannisian is working by the rules of courtesy.

An elderly person, on the other hand, said he is skeptical that the authorities will accept Raffi Hovannisian’s proposition, but, separately, he suggested that Armenia’s political forces think about increasing the birth rate in the country.
