"Arman is a friend of mine but the decision of the party is subject
for execution," Armen Ashotyan, Armenian Republican Party (HHK)
member and member of parliament, told Panorama.am speaking about
HHK’s decision not to support Arman Sahakyan’s candidacy at Ajapniak
community elections. Ashotyan pays high credits to Arman’s father,
Galust Sahakyan, who is HHK parliamentary faction head. The deputy
could not clearly say why the party declined to support his son in
the elections. "It is the internal job of the party because the party
has set some priorities," he said.
Despite of that Galust Sahakyan assured Panorama.am that "Arman
Sahakyan is going to run for elections and that is not without
reason." Speaking about HHK board decision, the faction head said,
"the party will not issue any disposition during the elections."
Reminder: Earlier HHK Board Chairman Serzh Sargsyan had said,
"The party is not obliged to support any member in any issue. Every
member must understand that he is in an organization… In case of
taking a decision based on personal issues he must be responsible for
that decision. If someone does not consider the party while taking
a decision, why should he expect the party’s support?"
