THE THREE-PARTY FORMAT WILL NOT BE FORMED YET
`The Party `Heredity’ has authorized me to start a number of inter-party
meetings which will include not only famous names – Aram Sargsyan, Hovhannes
Hovhannisyan, but also the whole specter of the political field, both
oppositional and pro-governmental’, said today Raffi Hovhannisyan, President
of the Party `Heredity’ about the pro-western format of the three parties.
`We will meet with everybody, but we will not go to their offices, but our
doors will be open to all’.

After the conference of the party the creation of the regional departments
of the party has started. The party has about 3000 members. According to
Raffi Hovhannisyan, 46 organizations are already acting. And the aim of the
party is to realize the development of democracy in the country as soon as
possible and to restore the reputation of Armenia as an isle of democracy.

Raffi Hovhannisyan noted that it is of no importance who will realize the
democratic reforms – the authorities or the opposition, `and whoever starts
the reforms, be it the opposition or the authorities, its reputation will
rise’, announced Raffi Hovhannisyan.

He indirectly blamed the oppositional political bodies for struggling for
the change of the `chair’ after which one of the journalists asked Mr.
Hovhannisyan in which filed he sees himself – in the oppositional or in the
pro-governmental. `In the oppositional’, answered Raffi Hovhannisyan. As for
how he imagined the transformation to democracy, Mr. Hovhannisyan said that
at the initial phase they will visit the regions, will have meetings with
the members of the parties and will have active participation in all the
coming meetings.

He also added that if there is no transformation to democracy during this
year, we will face the reality of becoming the least important country of
the region.
