THE THREE-PARTY FORMAT WILL NOT BE FORMED YET
Support A1+!“The Party “Heritage” has authorized me to start a number of inter-party meetings which will include not only famous names – Aram Sargsyan, Hovhannes Hovhannisyan, but also the whole specter of the political field, both oppositional and pro-governmental”, said today Raffi Hovannisian, President of the Party “Heritage” about the pro-western format of the three parties. “We will meet with everybody, but we will not go to their offices, but our doors will be open to all”.
After the conference of the party the creation of the regional departments of the party has started. The party has about 3000 members. According to Raffi Hovannisian, 46 organizations are already acting. And the aim of the party is to realize the development of democracy in the country as soon as possible and to restore the reputation of Armenia as an isle of democracy.
Raffi Hovannisian noted that it is of no importance who will realize the democratic reforms – the authorities or the opposition, “and whoever starts the reforms, be it the opposition or the authorities, its reputation will rise”, announced Raffi Hovannisian.
He indirectly blamed the oppositional political bodies for struggling for the change of the “chair” after which one of the journalists asked Mr. Hovannisian in which filed he sees himself – in the oppositional or in the pro-governmental. “In the oppositional”, answered Raffi Hovannisian. As for how he imagined the transformation to democracy, Mr. Hovannisian said that at the initial phase they will visit the regions, will have meetings with the members of the parties and will have active participation in all the coming meetings.
He also added that if there is no transformation to democracy during this year, we will face the reality of becoming the least important country of the region.
