ArmInfo. ‘I think that Hrant Khachatryan’s relations with ‘Union of
Constitutional Right> party finally ended: he called himself non-party
and unemployed in his application for participation in the additional
parliamentary election in the 17th district’, "Union of Constitutional
Right" party leader Haik Babukhanyan said at today’s press-conference
in "Tesaket" club. To recall, a split occurred in "UCR" party on
September 16, 2006 at the regular congress. It was caused by
disagreements among supporters of the party leader H. Khachatryan and
his deputy H. Babukhanyan. H. Khachatryan’s supporters, having turned
out to be in minority, left the congress and later, they appealed to
the court protesting against the election of the party’s Board. Part of
the party headed by H. Babukhanyan held a conference during which he
was elected his chairman again.

Responding to ArmInfo’s question, H. Babukhanyan replied that he
considers the situation with H. Khachatrayn exhausted. As for the fact
that a newspaper of H. Khachatryan’s supporters "Iravunk de facto" is
presently issued besides ‘Iravunk’, "UCR" leader said that him and his
associates have already appealed to the Commission on Economic
Competition and the latter has already launched investigation.
