"HHK officials abuse their powers"
Statement of the Armenian Parliamentarism Center
The Republican Party of Armenia (HHK) is mainly engaged in providing free treatment and assistance to kindergartens, boarding schools, orphanages, nursing homes and organizing charitable concerts, pilgrimages, competitions, festivals, sport events, elite games.
This "party" activity frequently ends with handing party tickets to students and soldiers.
HHK officials, in particular the RA Prime Minister, Head of President's Staff, Yerevan Mayor, ministers, rectors and marzpets, abuse their powers and make unprecedented mass violations.
It came to the involvement of the Defense Minister in HHK activities. Even the president of the Constitutional Court campaigned for HHK foreign policy. The country's potential is fully used to strengthen HHK on the threshold of new elections.
To curb the party's illegal actions, we urge international structures to demand Serzh Sargsyan's resignation from the post of the HHK leader and to give a professional assessment to the HHK activity, thus forbidding this state "charitable" organization to participate in the upcoming elections.
To this end, we are going to send the statement to the offices of EU, CoE and OSCE and organize an Internet discussion as part of a pan-Armenian campaign "against the illegalities of HHK."
