Raffi Hovannisian Announces His Candidacy,
Heritage Endorses
Yerevan--Today Raffi K. Hovannisian formally announced his candidacy
for the Armenian presidency. In advance of the elections, scheduled
for February 2013, he publicized his decision during a Citizens'
Assembly convened at the Armenia Marriott Hotel.
The town hall meeting opened with the Armenian national anthem, «Mer
Hayrenik», and was followed by short addresses of civil society and
Heritage Party representatives. The Chairman of the Heritage Party
then addressed the public, introducing his vision of the future
Armenia and the policy priorities that he, as an ordinary Armenian
citizen nominated to become President, is prepared to fulfill together
with all the citizens of Armenia.
"All of us must become more citizen than civil, more nation than
nationalistic, more liberty than liberal, more spirit than spiritual,
and more Republic than republican. Because Armenia is free,
independent, and united through us, our will power, and our common
path. Armenia: the one and only. On February 18, 2013, our people
finally must take action--one time and together," he said.
Upon conclusion of Raffi Hovannisian's keynote remarks, the previous
day's decision of the Heritage Party's executive board was presented
to the assembled citizens for affirmation. The civic assembly and the
Heritage Party delegates, as one, raised their hands in unanimous
approval.
"In full respect of Heritage founder Raffi K. Hovannisian's decision
to offer his candidacy, as a rank-and-file citizen, for the presidency
of the Republic of Armenia, the Heritage Pary Board hereby determines
to support the candidacy of its chairman Raffi Hovannisian in the
presidential elections on 18 February 2013."
The public meeting concluded with a video greeting to Hovannisian and
Heritage by Chairman Wilfried Martens of the European People's Party.
