MOODS INSIDE HERITAGE ARE NOT DISTINCT
The leader of the Heritage Party Raffi Hovannisian is delivering
lectures at a series of U.S. and European universities and will
return to Armenia around January 20, stated Member of Parliament
Stepan Safaryan, the secretary of the Heritage faction, on January 14
at the Hayeli Club. The reporters asked when the Heritage Party will
decide on supporting a candidate running in the presidential
election.
Stepan Safaryan says the administration of the party will hold a
meeting as soon as the leader of the party returns. `I think there
are a number of new realities, the election programs of the
candidates. Not all the programs have been released but I
nevertheless think that we will have them by that time, and there is
a small period for a certain behavior and expression, and finally, if
the moods inside the party change, it will be reflected in our
decision,’ Stepan Safaryan says.
He notes that the moods inside the party are not distinct. He means
that there is no considerable support for any one of the candidates.
`There are moods inside the party. A considerable part thinks it is
necessary to support an opposition candidate, the candidate which has
a good chance, they think this candidate is Levon Ter-Petrosyan.
However, there are also other opinions, Vazgen Manukyan, Vahan
Hovanisyan, Arthur Baghdasaryan,’ Stepan Safaryan says, noting that
they will not support the candidate of the government because they
are opposition to this system.
