"Spies" discovered in political parties in Armenia are not separate
cases, stated Vardan Khachatryan, the secretary of the Heritage Party,
on June 17. The political party he represents is the latest victim of
espionage inside political parties. Several weeks ago a member of the
Heritage Party named Edgar Hakobyan was revealed, and Hakobyan was
dismissed. "When espionage inside political parties is concerned,
when especially the interference of national security services
in the activity of political parties is concerned, it makes a sad
impression. Because the country’s security is, as a rule, based on
the activities of these political parties. If they start settling
accounts with the local political parties, employing spies, efforts
to stop some processes by a primitive interference, who is going to
do their job, to support their sphere?" asks Vardan Khachatryan.
