Elderly man gathers 1000 signatures
Members of the opposition Heritage party have fixed special duty hours to visit Heritage leader Raffi Hovannisian at Freedom Square and talk to his visitors. Heritage members also stay at the square for the night.
"I shall spend the night under the sky with Raffi Hovannisian and other friends," Stepan Safaryan, a member of the Heritage party, told A1+.
He says different people visit the Heritage leader at night. "These are caring people, disguised people, suspicious-looking people and even drunkards but they have never entered into a conflict," said Mr Safaryan.
Later last week, a group of citizens started collection of signatures at Freedom Square to express their support and confidence for Raffi Hovannisian. Stepan Safaryan says tens of thousands citizens have joined the move which continues at the square.
"I have personally given the forms to many citizens. People want to take them to their villages and regions. Many have already brought hundreds of signatures," he said adding that early in the morning an 85-year-old man showed up at the square with 1000 signatures.
"He took new forms with him to fill them in. The elderly man only complained that he did not have a car, otherwise, he would fetch at least 5000 signatures," Mr Safaryan concluded.
