HERITAGE HOLDS TENTH PARTY CONGRESS
Hovannisian Reelected
Yerevan--The Heritage Party convened its Tenth National Congress at the Ani
Plaza Hotel on June 28 with a solemn rendering of the Armenian national
anthem and the participation of 150 delegates from across the Republic.
The Congress first approved its agenda as well as the composition of its
secretariat and election commission. The board of the Party, the Heritage
parliamentary faction, and the `Barev Yerevan' team at the Yerevan City
Council presented their reports.
Heritage leader Raffi K. Hovannisian addressed the Congress with a keynote
speech outlining the major domestic issues and foreign policy challenges in
the period since the previous Congress.
Elections for members of the new board, as well as for the audit and
statutory committees, were held in the afternoon.
The Congress elected a new governing board composed of Heritage Party
founder Raffi Hovannisian, educators Anahit Bakhshyan and Armen
Martirosyan, MPs Ruben Hakobyan and Zaruhi Postanjyan, economists Gagik
Margaryan, Susanna Muradyan, and Rshtun Martirosyan, journalist-economist
Hrayr Manoukyan, political scientist Stepan Hasan-Jalalyan, Philip
Arzoumanyan, and Hovsep Ghazaryan, designer Gayane Abasyan, geographer
Vahagn Hovhannisyan and international relations specialist Andranik
Grigoryan.
The Congress also adopted a Resolution reaffirming its commitment to
Heritage's national goals. It reads in part: `The formula for Armenia's
salvation remains the same--Liberty, Sovereignty, and the National
Interest. We will be worthy of our Flag only if we overcome our partisan
interests and work together to realize a Constitutional Revolution with a
united agenda for extraordinary change of Armenia's illegitimate
authorities, immediately and without any opportunism or political
bickering.'
Meeting later in executive session, the board reelected Raffi Hovannisian
as its leader, selecting Armen Martirosyan to serve as vice chair in charge
of public policy, Zaruhi Postanjyan as secretary general for international
affairs, Gayane Abasyan as board secretary, and Davit Sanasaryan as press
secretary.
