He declares that Heritage will go it alone if necessary
When asked about the state of relations between his party and
the opposition-based HAK (Armenian National Congress led by Levon
Ter-Petrosyan), particularly in light of a recent statement that the
Heritage Party would no longer be supporting HAK, Raffi Hovannisyan
said that Heritage had never officially declared such a thing.
"One of our MP's expressed a personal opinion, which they have a right
to do. But I do not believe that speaking about the upcoming elections
and the potential candidates at this time is the politically mature
thing to do," Hovannisyan said.
The Heritage Party leader added that the party would talk to all
parliamentary and extra-parliamentary forces, as well as civil groups.
"We do not suffer from such a complex or restrictions," he said.
Hovannisyan said that the party was in support of an oppositional
political alternative that was ideologically-based, strong, and which
could ensure political results to future generations.
The former RA Foreign Minister stressed that Heritage was ready to
go it alone, under its own banner, in any election campaign.
He called on all opposition leaders and individuals to realize the
following simple truth - that by following separate paths, there is
little chance of achieving regime change in a civilized manner.
