ARMENIAN OPPOSITION LEADER: NO COURT RULING WILL MAKE PRESIDENT 'LEGITIMATE'
Opposition leader Stepan Demirchian, who was defeated in the 5 March presidential election, vowed on 14 April to withhold any recognition of the election results, contending that the re-election of President Robert Kocharian was illegitimate, RFE/RL's Yerevan bureau reported. The statement came the day before an expected ruling by the Armenian Constitutional Court on Demirchian's suit challenging the election. He added that "even assuming that my lawsuit is turned down, the current president will not become legitimate in the eyes of the people." Commenting on the 25 May parliamentary elections, Demirchian predicted that the recently formed opposition Artarutiun alliance will win a substantial number of seats. RG
