"LET WORTHY FORCES AND NOT THOSE HAVING MUCH MONEY WIN," RAFFI
HOVANNISIAN SAYS

YEREVAN, MARCH 2, NOYAN TAPAN. The Zharangutiun (Heritage) Party will
go to the forthcoming parliamentary elections independently and only
by the proportional system. This was announced at the Party Board
Council’s March 2 sitting. The Council of Party Board decided not to
take part in the parliamentary elections by majoritarian system "for
the purpose of not undermining the party’s resources and forces." The
proportional list consisting of 58 people was affirmed at the
sitting. The first four persons on the list are Party leader Raffi
Hovannisian, first RA Ombudsperson Larisa Alaverdian, Chairman of
Party’s Board Council Vardan Khachatrian, headmaster of Yerevan school
N 27 Anahit Bakhshian. R. Hovannisian said that Zharangutiun Party’s
participation in the elections is a "civil, realized decision, love
and service for homeland."

In his words, the coming generation should inherit a democratic, legal
and sovereign state. In R. Hovannisian’s words, they will do their
best for Armenia to belong not only to separate groups, but to each
citizen. Wishing success to the parties competiting with Zharangutiun
at the elections, Zharangutiun’s leader called everybody for
struggling in an honest field based on mutual respect and ensuring
free competition. "Let the worthy forces and not those speaking much,
having much money win," R. Hovannisian said adding that Zharangutiun
will win under equal conditions.
