The leader of the opposition Heritage party, Raffi Hovhannisyan,
believes that the proposal to adopt a 100% proportional representations
system should be discussed jointly with the president.
Speaking to reporters on Friday, the Heritage leader admitted that
their party's initiative to start debates over the issue was a
little delayed but said the question can be resolved if there is a
political will.
"Serzh Sargsyan had better meet the Armenian National Congress
(ANC), the Armenian Revolutionary Federation-Dashnaksutun (ARF-D)
and Heritage. But the tangible outcome of all this is that it helped
create a new political culture," he said.
Highlighting the importance of a 100 % proportional voting Hovhannisyan
further said their party is willing to consider possibilities of
creating an alliance with any political force.
"We'll have meetings with several parties' delegations, and in case
there are mutual interests, will expand the agenda," Hovhannisyan said,
adding that Heritage will also meet the ruling political parties if
they wish so.
He further referred to the recent dialogue between Heritage and ARF-D.
"Dashnaksutyun and we are different opposition factions in parliament,
and there is a collaboration based on mutual respect. We are unanimous
in national issues; and the coming period will show whether a close
cooperation is possible. But it is clear already that each party
strives for a straight ticket voting," he said.
