ArmInfo. RA parliamentarian, "Heritage" party’s faction member Zaruhi
Postanjyan expressed indignation with May 5 statement of the ruling
political coalition. To recall, one of the items of the statement
expressed regret "in view of the refusal of "Heritage" party leader
Raffi Hovannisian to take part in the work of the interdepartmental
working group created in view of adoption of PACE Resolution N 1609".

Commenting upon the this statement item, at ArmInfo’s request, Z.
Postanjyan said that R. Hovannisian was invited for participation in
the work by phone by Head of RA president’s administration Hovik
Abrahamyan. For his part, "Heritage" party leader said that he will
absent from the republic during the group’s work, for family and
professional reasons, Z. Postanjyan said.

Nevertheless, R. Hovannisian expressed readiness to enter a dialogue
with the president and the formed working group, if necessary.
Moreover, R. Hovannisian proposed the candidacy of the faction
secretary Stepan Safaryan for participation in the daily work, the
parliamentarian said. "Having not responded to Safaryan’s candidacy,
the authorities have immediately disseminated an information, according
to which we allegedly refuse of cooperation. And who says that this
working group should be represented just by Raffi Hovannisian?", Z.
Postanjyan expressed her indignation.
