Why did "Heritage" return?
Statement by "Heritage" Party
"On February 28, the NA "Heritage" faction put a hold on its participation in the plenary sessions of the RA National Assembly as a sign of protest against the new coalition agreement determining the anti-constitutional outcome two years before the elections for the legislative body that doesn't reflect the people's internal and external demands and the presidential elections. Nevertheless, the deputies of the faction didn't stop carrying out all their functions emanating from their mandates.
After six months, the meetings of "Heritage" members and the party's leader Raffi Hovhannisian in Yerevan and Armenia's provinces go to show that a clear notion of the need for complete change of power for structural reforms has been instilled in the society, and that has turned the above mentioned coalition agreement to zero.
Appreciating that step taken by "Heritage" faction, the citizens find that the time has come for the faction to restart its activities in the parliament's plenary sessions to ensure the people's presence and protect its interests in the highest legislative body.
Yesterday "Heritage" Party's board and the homonymous parliamentary faction held a joint session and decided that the faction would begin to participate in the NA plenary sessions once again."
