"Putin did not come, so Hovannisian went to see him"
On April 9, opposition leader Raffi Hovannisian was to have led people to Baghramyan 26 [presidential palace] to express their protest against the ‘fraudulent' presidential election there.
"After each rigged election people went to Baghramyan 26 and called for president's resignation," Zoya Tadevosyan, Founder of the People's Power initiative, told reporters on April 12.
She says on April 9 people did not come to Freedom Square to listen to Hovannisian's moral speech.
"People long for real political changes. People swore that are law-abiding citizens, that much," she said.
Speaking about Hovannisian's visit to Moscow, Zoya Tadevosyan said, "Putin did not come to meet him [Raffi Hovannisian] in Freedom Square, he went to see Putin as was the case with Serzh Sargsyan."
