In a press briefing, Heritage party leader Raffi Hovannisian commented
on Heritage faction member Tevan Poghosyan's recent statement on
giving up his parliamentary seat.
"I expect him to remain in parliament. I have urged him to do so,"
Hovannisian told reporters.
The Heritage leader added that he has no disagreements with Poghosyan.
On December 28, 2013, Tevan Poghosyan posted a statement on his
Facebook page saying that he decided to give up his parliamentary seat.
"I have submitted an application for giving up my parliamentary seat to
the National Assembly speaker. I made the decision long ago, but I was
waiting until the political year ended so as not to leave incomplete
the obligations I assumed in the course of political processes. I have
already informed my colleagues from Heritage about it. The reasons are
not political - they concern internal technicalities and therefore I
consider it unethical to make them public. I will continue my struggle
in the social sector, which is closer to me," Poghosyan wrote.
