The most-anticipated event of this post-election week following the Monday vote is perhaps the Friday evening public rally, which comes after the meeting between the oppositional candidate and the incumbent president, and is expected to give answers to many questions and clarify the opposition's action plan.
The preliminary official results of the February 18 presidential elections have positioned oppositional candidate Raffi Hovannisian as the runner-up. Hovannisian, however, is disputing the results claiming the victory with the majority of votes had the election results not been forged. After three days of public rallies at Liberty Square, downtown Yerevan, Hovannisian visited the presidential residence and had a meeting with re-elected president Serzh Sargsyan. There are no details from this meeting of Heritage and ruling Republican party leaders yet. Hovannisian promised to speak about them at the Friday rally (today, February 22).
