Offered Makeyan to leave premises
The central office of "Democratic Homeland" Party, which has been located at 12 Vagharshyan Street since 1996, may be closed down, leader of the party Petros Makeyan told journalists today.
On April 1, the state property management department under the RA Government sent a notification stating that the party must leave the premises due to the expiration of the renting agreement. Petros Makeyan views this as a political vendetta against his party.
"Our party has turned into one of the main targets for this government."
On April 2, the party's council convened a session and discussed the current inter-political situation and issued a statement in which it is stated: "The party has responded to and has expressed public concern over the illegal and cynical acts of the ruling regime. These acts have always impeded the party's regular activities. Nevertheless, the party is not oppressed. "Democratic Homeland" Party is convinced that Armenia will soon be free from the ruling regime and the hour is close at hand."
Makeyan is certain that the ruling regime has never been as weak as it is today. Although Petros Makeyan says the authorities have been trying to fix the situation since 2008, it still hasn't led to big changes. "They are simply imitating."
The leader of the party also touched upon the policies of other opposition forces, particularly "Heritage" party and the statement by the faction's leader Stepan Safaryan posted on facebook. Let us remind that recently, Safaryan wrote that on 1 March 2008, he and a group of MPs had visited RA First President Levon Ter-Petrosyan and asked that he take the situation into his hands, but Ter-Petrosyan had said he had nothing to do with those people. "If Stepan Safaryan is saying this after Raffi Hovhannisian's hunger strike, it is clear that this is a political order. Safaryan is lying. I get the impression that Robert Kocharyan's "ghost" is spinnng around "Heritage"."
