Difference between Raffi Hovhannisyan and Levon Ter-Petrosyan

Today, on March 4, during a joint press conference "Heritage" party secretary Styopa Safarian and Republican MP Artak Davtyan referred to the post-election developments.

According to Artak Davtyan, the positive trends, registered in the electoral process will have continuation in the post-election developments.

The ruling party MP added that he is not concerned by the assessments that are made in the OSCE/ODIHR interim report, and that even if the ballots which were cast in a given precinct were to be counted in favor of opposition Heritage Party Chairman 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, this would not change the overall picture.

Stepan Safarian in his speech said that the government was right only in a matter, that the fight was for the second place, but there is a difference in this fight, this time the candidate of the authority appeared in the second place.

"Raffi Hovannisian’s strategy is keeping the communication pipes open with all, starting from Serzh Sargsyan till PAP and other political forces. These meetings testify it, and they are necessary for the Heritage party leader to keep the chances of crisis solution," he said.
