YEREVAN.- A national citizens’ summit “New Armenia” is convened upon the constitutional demand of the Armenian people, Raffi Hovannisian said.

Hovannisian, a former presidential candidate and leader of Heritage party, is holding a forum of his supporters.

Addressing the participants, he said they would elaborate a strategy of struggling against the authorities for them not to use force against people.

“Serzh Sargsyan cannot imagine that people showing discontent with the authorities are not only those gathering at Liberty Square. They live in the most remote parts of the country and even in the Diaspora,” Hovannisian said.

He also accused the authorities of using the help of provocateurs who turn a peaceful march into a scuffle in a minute.

Leader of Heritage parties believes there are numerous methods to struggle against the ruling regime: from the legitimate demands of the people and up to the protest actions.

“The government must realize that they either need to serve the people or to leave the country,” Hovannisian emphasized.

In the end of the meeting Hovannisian promised to present a draft declaration of further actions in the fight against the government.

Head of the ARF Dashnaktsutyun parliamentary faction Armen Rustamyan was present at the forum.
