    Oskanian: defeated side should accept election outcomes
    25.02.2008 14:24 GMT+04:00
    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ “I could not imagine such shocks are possible in our republic. But unfortunately, there are people who chose hatred and revenge,” Armenian Foreign Minister Vartan Oskanian said in Yerevan today.

    “Those who gathered at Liberty Square do not want to understand that out country faces global challenges. The election is over. The CEC has officially announced the winner. I think that the defeated should accept this fact and reach out for reconciliation,” the Minister said.

    He said the Armenian people should unite to prevent genocidal acts like those which took place in Sumgayit in February 1998. “The domestic tensions will affect the country’s international image and the Karabakh conflict settlement. I rate conduction of rallies as manifestation of democracy but there is a limit to everything. There were seven days to re-count the votes and express discontent with the defeat,” he said.

    “Civilized methods, specifically appeal to the Constitutional Court, will be admitted by the international community and will be a positive factor for the Armenian democracy. I think that the nation will comprehend everything and will put an end to rallies, thus directing the opposition to the right track,” the Minister said.

    The opposition initiated a rally on February 20 to protest the outcomes of the presidential election won by Prime Minister Serzh Sargsyan with 52,82 per cent of votes. Ex-President Levon Ter-Petrosyan received 21,5 per cent of votes.

      "Hi I hope everything is fine with all of you we are fine too ,today I went to opera house, to see what is going on, I saw about 1000 people I stood there for a while there were lots of people coming and going like it’s a show for them but at night time not many and turns to dance and fun place, there were many policemen but in front of general assembly there were about 6-7 buses full of young soldiers, now there are peaceful demonstrations against Terpetrosian and Terpetrosian wants to go to court against election results,there is a small demonstration in front of Terpetrosian’s house,they want him out of the country."

            Indeed, that is where the scumbag belongs. My brother in Yerevan had the same to say as your friend, he said many people just wanted to see what all the commotion was about.
            For the first time in more than 600 years, Armenia is free and independent, and we are therefore obligated
            to place our national interests ahead of our personal gains or aspirations.

              ...so my question is, why is the international media grossly exagerating the number and energy of these "protests"? Some news articles said that there were 20-35 thousand protesters

              It is as if these foriegn news agencies are willing instability in Armenia.

                The first few days there were a lot of people, probably close to that figure, and I am assuming they included the protestors in other parts of Yerevan. But the numbers have been going down every day since the night after the election.

                  I think the report of the LTP rally this weekend in Little Armenia portion of Los Angeles is a farce.

                  Armenian election still just a blip on the U.S. State Dept. screen, no mention of pro LTP protests over the weekend in U.S.


                  QUESTION: Tom, do you have any comment on the continuing political turmoil in Armenia in the aftermath of their elections?

                  MR. CASEY: Well, David, you saw the statement that we put out over the weekend. I really don’t have much to add to that right now. Certainly, you’ve heard from the international observers about some of the concerns that they’ve had about the election, but we believe that these disputes need to be settled within the confines of Armenia’s constitution and political system.

                    Rally in Serzh Sargsyan’s support to be held in Yerevan February 26

                    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ Parties, public organizations and citizens who backed Armenia’s Prime Minister Serzh Sagsyan at the February 19 presidential election will gather at Republic Square tomorrow to support their candidate, said a statement posted at Serzh Sargsyan’s headquarters web site.

                    The rally will be held for maintenance of stability, tolerance, lawfulness and political culture.

                      A little correction my friend, without treasonous news media sources such as A1 Plus and Hetq, without Armenian traitors such as Onnik Krikorian and Richard Giragosian, the "foriegn news agencies" can't do shit!
