Hovannisian and Heritage Kick Off Congressional Campaign
Talin, Armenia–The Heritage Party today launched Raffi Hovannisian’s
campaign to represent the 15th electoral district in Armenia’s
National Assembly. The constituency, which includes 84 precincts in
the marzes of Aragatsotn and Armavir and stretches from the slopes of
Mt. Aragats to the banks of the Arax River, will hold the election to
fill its vacancy in Parliament on August 26.
Raffi Hovannisian is joined by six other candidates in the race for
this last of the Republic’s 41 majoritarian seats. If elected,
Hovannisian will represent the 15th district in the Armenian
legislature, while his current proportional (party-list) seat will be
assumed by Movses Aristakesian, an economist and former deputy
minister of statistics, who is the next candidate up on the Heritage
list that won the vote of public confidence on May 12.
Founded in 2002, Heritage has regional divisions throughout the land.
