Heritage Campaign Holds First Press Briefing, Receives Election Monitors

On Tuesday, April 17, television, radio, and print journalists gathered at
Heritage Party Headquarters, where spokesman Hovsep Khurshudian and media
relations director Lilit Sarukhanian conducted the party’s first bi-weekly
press briefing. Khurshudian discussed slanted media coverage, affirmed
Heritage’s commitment to a clean campaign, and reasserted the party’s three
prerequisites for just elections: 1) equal access to public facilities; 2)
equal access to media; and 3) a true respect for financial spending limits
by all parties involved.

Later in the day, Raffi K. Hovannisian received officials of the OSCE/ODIHR
Election Observation Mission led by Ambassador Boris Frlec. Campaign manager
Vardan Khachatrian and spokesman Hovsep Khurshudian also received a
delegation of the CIS Election Monitoring Organization. To both groups,
Heritage’s representatives upheld the imperative of free and fair elections,
saying that process and outcome are interrelated and equally important.
Without transparent elections that give voice to the national will,
Hovannisian asserted, the state can be neither just nor strong.

Heritage’s volunteer corps took the same message to the streets today,
covering parts of Yerevan’s Central district, Norki Masiv, and Arabkir.

Tomorrow, Heritage candidates and party faithful will join the volunteers,
as the campaign bus "Toward Victory" embarks on a two-day journey to the
Siunik marz and surrounding cities and villages.

Founded in 2002, Heritage has regional divisions throughout the land. Its
central office is located at 31 Moscovian Street, Yerevan 0002, Armenia,
with telephone contact at (374-10) 536.913, fax at (374-10) 532.697, email
