HERITAGE NOMINATES HOVANNISIAN FOR 15TH DISTRICT
Talin, Armenia–On Sunday, June 17, Heritage party representatives
Tigran Sargsian and Mamikon Sargsian presented the Heritage Party’s
official nomination of Raffi Hovannisian for the parliamentary seat
from the 15th electoral district. The election, to be held on the
majoritarian (first-past-the-post) basis, will take place on August 26
because the initial poll of May 12 was conducted amid allegations of
massive fraud and the declared winner refused to pick up his National
Assembly mandate from the Central Election Commission. At present
there are 11 nominated candidates for the vacancy.
The 15th constituency includes the city of Talin and parts of the
regions of Aragatsotn and Armavir, from the slopes of Mt. Aragats to
the banks of the Arax River. "One by one, step by step, we intend to
bring back the first-place votes that were ‘lifted’ from us on May
12," Heritage spokesman Hovsep Khurshudian said.
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)
