YEREVAN, March 5. /ARKA/. Heritage Armenian Opposition Party has
not identified the collaboration format with Free Democrats Party in
the upcoming parliamentary elections of Armenia on May 6, said Ruben
Hakobyan, Heritage Party deputy leader.
"Unfortunately, throughout the experience in Armenia, political
unions are formed only at the eve of elections, after which they
immediately collapse, as have no common points in their ideologies. We
want to establish long-lasting and effective cooperation ( with Free
Democrats)," Hakobyan said Monday at the press conference.
First of all, Heritage Party wants to build a common ideological
platform with Free Democrats aimed for future cooperation, according
to him. Hakobyan also said that the format of joint participation of
Heritage and Free Democrats parties in the parliamentary elections has
not been discussed yet. In his turn, Stepan Safaryan, head of Heritage
parliament faction, clarified that cooperation with Free Democrats
had never implied a joint participation in the elections. "Today we
can't be sure of anything as the question has not been discussed.
At present, Heritage will participate in the elections alone. Time will
show what is going to happen in the future," he said.Earlier, Ararat
Zurabyan, a member of Free Democrats Party, stated that Heritage and
Free Democrats would go to the elections as a united bloc, and that
they were likely to declare on this union at the congress of Free
Democrats on March 11. And even though electoral list has not been
yet discussed, it will be composed on 50/50 proportional principle,
he said.
The head of Heritage faction said he had no clue on why Zurabyan
made such statement, as the electoral list had not been discussed
yet. He reminded that the Party was expected to spell out details
on its participation in the elections at Party's Council session on
March 18.The next parliamentary elections will be held in Armenia
in May of 2012. Free Democrats Party was founded by the former
members of Pan- Armenian National Movement, headed in the 90s by
Levon Ter-Petrosyan, the first president of Armenia.Heritage Party,
liberal-democratic political force, was founded in 2002 by former
Armenian Foreign Minister Raffi Hovhannisyan . At present, the party
has six representatives in Armenian parliament.
