Boris Navasardyan: Holding new election is the only demand not running counter the Constitution
President of Yerevan Press Club Boris Navasardyan posted a statement on his Facebook page regarding the demands made by Raffi Hovannisian.
The statement says, in part, “Let’s assess the situation realistically. Serzh Sargsyan has no right, even if he wanted it, to pass the power to anyone, even to Raffi Hovannisian, at 14:00 on February 21. He can step down from his post, Hovik Abrahamyan will be Acting President and new election will be appointed. Vote recount is another option. If the winner changes after vote recount, the election should be invalidated and then see above. There is perhaps no other option that would not run counter the Constitution and the laws. So holding new election is the only fair demand. All other options are from the field of coup or political commerce.”
