/PanARMENIAN.Net/ `On September 9, Heritage party's illegitimate
management body made a decision on removing Vardan Khachatryan, Movses
Aristakesyan and me,' Heritage party's former representative Zoya
Tadevosyan told today a news conference.
She informed journalist that before adopting the decision, management
board members had received a letter from Raffi Hovhanisyan in which
party leader expressed his intention of quitting politics.
`Allegation that Raffi still remains a party leader are false because
has quit both his party and politics,' Zoya Tadevosyan said.
Tadevosyan was convinced that the letter gave party members a carte
blanche for adopting such decision.
Raffi Hovhannisyan resignation, she said, caused the party to split
because the name Heritage was always associated with Hovhannisyan's
name.
Answering a PanARMENIAN.Net correspondent's question whether expelled
party members had been informed about management board's session, Zoya
Tadevosyan answered, `Yes, we were notified of session, but we didn't
take part in it because we disagreed to its agenda. Moreover, we
demanded that another meeting be convened before that session, but
they didn't do that.'
To the question concerning expelled party members' future plans,
Tadevosyan answered that they might create a political club of
co-thinkers in cooperation with Armenian National Congress. `We will
also organize our co-thinkers' mass expulsion from that party,' she
said.
