CRU FOUNDER PROMISES TO REVAMP THE PARTY
YEREVAN, JANUARY 31, ARMENPRESS: Acting on an
appeal of three members of the Constitutional Right
Union (CRU) party an Armenian review court ruled today
to annul the results of a September 16, 2006 election
of members of its ruling board and oversight
commission.
The appeal had been turned down by a lower court in
October. Speaking to a news conference today CRU
chairman and founder Hrant Khachatrian said the review
court decision came as ‘a big surprise."
Khachatrian, a parliament member, elected on the
opposition Ardarutyun’s (Justice) slate in 2003
elections, said today he will be back to revamp the
party, but said he will hardly get engaged in active
politics.
He assured there will be no ‘witch hunting’ in the
party and no taking revenge on disloyal members. He
said the party’s ruling board will decide whether its
current chairman Hayk Babukhanian will remain in it or
will be asked to leave it.
