After the publication of the joint election list of Heritage-Free
Democrats bloc yesterday it became known that the Secretary of
Heritage Party Karine Hakobyan was not only absent on the list but
also was no longer a member of the party.
During today's press conference Karine Hakobyan commented on this,
noting that she has had a number of disagreements with the party over
its strategy and tactics referring to her principled approach to these
issues.
Karine Hakobyan stated that the list was a surprise to her and many
others. She had a different idea on the alliance. According to her,
the list is not grounded. Karine Hakobyan says the list was made by
Raffi Hovhannisian and his advisors, vice-chairman, press secretary.
The Free Democrats list also surprised her. According to her, the list
should be based on the knowledge, public achievements and fame of
figures, while the current list reduces the chances to receive votes.
According to her, the party list is not just a list but also a
personnel policy. Karine Hakobyan noted that she agrees with the
involvement of young people but they need to be known to the society.
The National Assembly is not an experimental field, she said.
Karine Hakobyan noted that she had joined the Heritage to complete
great tasks, and she decided to leave the party as soon as she
understood she has too many disagreements. According to her, she is a
civil society activist rather than a politician.
