Member of the opposition Armenian National Congress (HAK) Nikol Pashinyan, who is running for parliament from Constituency N7, says Armenia has been facing a terrible reality for a long time.

"Part of our citizens has become victims of electoral fraud," Pashinyan said addressing HAK ralliers at Liberty Square in Yerevan.

"I do not want to separate them from us as they also crave for a free and independent Armenia," he said.

"I appeal to all citizens of Armenia. We do not expect you to participate in our pre-election meetings. We do not expect you to advocate for the HAK and fight against the gang rule in your homes, rather we expect you to allocate us 30 seconds [for a coup]. We expect you to say at polling stations that you are voting for the Republican Party. We expect you to take up a Republican posture at polling stations and smile at Serzh Sargsyan. But once you take the ballot and enter the cabin, make the 30-second revolution happen and vote for justice, giving a devastating blow to the Serzh-Lfikyan regime," he said.

Pashinyan says the time for revolution has matured in Armenia, setting the on May 6.
