The Heritage Party considers collaboration with Armenia's former
foreign affairs minister Vartan Oskanian (pictured) possible for
"achieving victory over the rule of law in Armenia" - as friends and
fellow citizens fighting electoral fraud, said Heritage Party leader
and former foreign minister himself Raffi Hovannisian at a press
conference earlier today. He added that he hasn't met with Oskanian
and cannot say what's on his mind in terms of his political engagement.
"Our doors are open and any political force or interested individual
that wants to discuss the margins of cooperation together, let me say,
that we're open and I am gladly prepared to meet with them," he said.
On possible areas of cooperation in the upcoming elections between his
party and Armenia's second president, Robert Kocharian, Hovannisian
said:
"Anyone following the Heritage Party will understand that we're not
vindictive and spiteful, and we consider that the Republic of Armenia's
future of sovereignty is found through searching for and developing
a new resolution. Criticizing all three presidents, we, at the same
time, appreciate them. We've entered a stage where false information
is being circulated, different kinds of offers of blackmail are being
made - let me just say that there was no meeting of the three [former]
foreign ministers."
Hovannisian reminded the press that the Heritage Party is preparing
to back Armenian National Congress member Sasun Mikaelyan in the
upcoming Hrazdan mayoral elections.
