Heritage Party representative Arman Musheghyan says he has sided with the party as he has never noticed tense interpersonal relations among the party members.

Musheghyan, who running for the National Assembly by the proportional ticket of Heritage party, says he is going to representative in parliament the rights of disabled people in Armenia.

"Raffi Hovannisian did not put any pre-conditions before me. He said that I could voice the problems and concerns of the disabled in the National Assembly. If I am lucky enough to be elected, first of all I shall make our legislators draft a law on disabled people," says the head of World without Barriers NGO.

Speaking to journalists at the Hayeli [Mirror] club, Arman Musheghyan and Tevan Poghosyan [another Heritage party candidate] dismissed the allegations that Heritage Leader Raffi Hovannisian is cooperating with the authorities.

Arman Musheghyan said it resembles the well-know game, Mafia, where everyone is looking for the blacks.

"The main difference is that Heritage is doing real politics. Heritage cannot have concluded a deal with the authorities, its only coalition partner is Armenian people," he stressed.

For his part, Tevan Poghosyan said the rumours are but a tale.

Assessing the party's chances to be represented in the National Assembly, Arman Musheghyan said, "Heritage will surely garner more votes than it has today. I would like all opposition parties to enter the National Assembly: the more oppositional forces are represented in parliament, the more issues they will raise."
