YEREVAN. – Armenia’s opposition Heritage Party Chairman, former FM Raffi Hovannisian—who was 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—called upon everyone, on Tuesday at capital city Yerevan’s Liberty Square, to join their rally that will commence at the square at 6pm, to start, as per Hovannisian, the actions toward implementing the first article of the Constitution: Returning power to the people.  

It is known at present that Yerevan Municipality had partially sanctioned Heritage’s notification for holding a march on Tuesday. The city authorities considered unacceptable the holding of this march in a route that passes along the Presidential Residence and the National assembly building. Instead, the Municipality proposed an alternative route for this march.
