Lights Go Out for Heritage as Campaign Thunders On

Yerevan—Yesterday, April 26, after Heritage candidates and volunteers exhausted campaign materials in Giumri, the campaign caravan’s final stop of the day, Raffi K. Hovannisian appeared at the city’s Tsayg television station for a previously scheduled live interview. Electricity rarely goes off in Giumri these days, but nearly ten minutes into the interview, it did for Heritage. And not just one line of electricity, but the station’s second reserve line, too. The television administration was not reluctant to find political explanations behind the sudden outage. When the power was restored some twenty minutes later, Hovannisian finished the interview, which was aired in full at a later time.

Today, April 27, Hovannisian headed to Belgium to attend and address “Brussels Forum 2007,” a forum of world leaders, as the campaign bus “Toward Victory” made its rounds in Yerevan’s Erebuni, Nubarashen, and Arabkir districts. A sister minibus focused on villages in the Gavar region.

Tomorrow, April 28, “Toward Victory” will concentrate on the capital’s Masiv district.
