“This time, however, I do. I am the elected present of Armenia,” Hovannissian said at Feb 19 press conference in Yerevan’s Liberty Square.

He further gave president-elect Serzh Sargsyan one day to admit his mistake before the law and the Armenian people.

“He will receive people’s forgiveness in that case. People have won, every one knows this. I hope Serzh Sargsyan will admit my victory and the victory of Armenian people,” Heritage leader said.
