Opposition presidential candidate Raffi Hovannisian vowed to continue and expand his street protests against official results of Armenia's presidential election as he again rallied thousands of supporters in Yerevan on Friday.
Addressing the crowd in the city's Liberty Square, he also revealed that President Serzh Sarkisian rejected his compromise proposals made at their meeting on Thursday.
Hovannisian, who refuses to recognize Sarkisian's victory in Monday's vote and has declared himself its rightful winner, said he proposed that the Armenian authorities call a repeat election. "The answer was 'no,'" he said.
Hovannisian said he then suggested that Sarkisian agree to snap parliamentary elections that would "return power to the people." "What do you think was the answer? No," he said.
