Raffi Hovannisian: I was not ready to send hundreds of condolence telegrams after April 9
We all are facing a dilemma. New Armenia is just a proposal, and is one of the demands of the people, Heritage party leader, former presidential candidate Raffi Hovannisian told reporters on Monday.
He called unfair the criticism voiced by some politicians, civil activists and political analysts who say that the Raffi Hovannisian-led movement instead of power change and radical steps chose a different way after April 9.
“I was not ready to send hundreds of condolence telegrams after April 9 or to become the successor of someone’s ideology or thoughts. We are in a unique Armenia, in a situation when nothing can be changed in one day, but I am convinced that the changes will come eventually,” Raffi Hovannisian said, adding that the tough demographic situation and emigration will continue unless changes are made.
