HERITAGE LEADER CALLS FOR UNITING EFFORTS
Tert.am
16.03.12
The leader of the Heritage party, Raffi Hovhannisyan, has called
upon the opposition forces to unite their efforts ahead of the May
parliamentary polls.
In his speech at the Free Democrats party's third congress on Friday,
Hovhannisyan conveyed to the participants his sympathy and support
on behalf of Heritage and said their concerted efforts would bring
a new daybreak to Armenia on May 6 and the following day.
He characterized the Free Democrats party as a powerful force committed
to national interests.
Hovhannisyan stressed that an alliance would contribute to state
building more than separate political parties put together.
"Our country's sovereignty, interests, and the future of generations
is beyond our own selves. Together, we will move mountains," he said.
In a summary report adopted after the speeches, the Free Democrats
vested the Heritage party with the authority to determine the format
of the parliamentary campained.
None of the ruling political forces had attended the congress. A
spokesperson for the Free Democrats party, Angela Khachatryan, told
Tert.am that the coalition parties - the Republican, Rule of Law and
Prosperous Armenia - had not been sent an invitation. But ex-foreign
minister Vardan Oskanyan, who has recently joined Prosperous Armenia,
was among the invited. Commenting on his presence Khachatryan said
it had nothing to do with Oskanyan's party affiliation as he was
invited there as a public figure known, not as a Prosperous Armenia
representative.
The congress was also attended by the leader of the Republic party
(a political force represented in the opposition Armenian National
Congress), Aram Sargsyan, and a member of the opposition Armenian
Revolutionary Federation-Dashnaksutyun (ARF-D) faction in parliament,
Armen Roustamyan.
All the lawmakers of the Heritage party faction were present at
the discussion.
