Politics

The situation created in Constitutional Right Union was not cleared even after the conference. Moreover, although the conference reconfirmed Hrant Khachatryan in the post of the president of the party, and Hayk Baboukhanyan in the post of the vice president, the passions have not cooled down, and today Hrant Khachatryan made an ultimatum.

«In order to heal the party Hayk Baboukhanyan has to resign from the post of the vice president of the party for three months», Hrant Khachatryan told a news conference rendered today. Let us remind you that according to the results of the Saturday voting Hrant Khachatryan was elected president of the party with 184 votes. Hayk Baboukhanyan was elected vice president with 203 votes; on the day of the elections he withdrew his candidacy for the post of the president.

We asked Hrant Khachatryan is he is convinced that Hayk Baboukhanyan would not gather more votes if he did not withdraw his candidacy. He answered that it was the plan of the overturn – that he would remain president, and Baboukhanyan would remain vice president.

According to Hrant Khachatryan, the party is facing the danger of losing its independence and the only way out is to bring Hayk Baboukhanyan back from the wrong path. And the «wrong path» is the financial abuse of about 1.6 million AMD, and «the debt of 3 or 6 million AMD» where Hrant Khachatryan sees no criminality.

Hrant Khachatryan informed that if Hayk Baboukhanyan does not resign until Wednesday, he will leave the political field and will take the name «Constitutional Right Union» with him.

By the way, Hayk Baboukhanyan informed that he is not going to resign as he was elected by the conference in order to regulate the activity of the party.

According to Khachatryan, newspaper «Iravounq» will continue its activity despite anything, and Baboukhanyan will remain its editor-in-chief.
