Opposition leader Raffi Hovannisian pledged to continue challenging the legitimacy of President Serzh Sarkisian's reelection with nationwide street protests as he again rallied several thousand supporters in Yerevan on Tuesday.
Hovannisian also condemned the international community for accepting the official results of the disputed February 18 election. He said congratulatory letters sent to Sarkisian by the U.S. and Russian presidents as well as other foreign leaders were a "huge mistake."
"There will be no retreat," he told the crowd that gathered in Yerevan's Liberty Square despite cold weather and a snowfall. "Nothing will make us deviate from our path," he said in an unusually emotional speech.
