If the internal conflicts in &’Heritage’ Party are not solved till
September end, I will have to interfere," Leader of "Heritage"
Party Raffi Hovhannisyan told NEWS.am. He arrived in Yerevan from
Nagorno-Karabakh on September 17, 2009.

Hovhannisyan is negative to the current developments in the party
and considers its rupture unacceptable due to self-interests of
some members.

Recently three "Heritage" party members Zoya Tadevosyan, Vardan
Khachatryan and Movses Aristakesyan were expelled accused of
espionage on behalf of Armenian National Congress. There were
personnel rotations as well. Presently, the party is headed by Armen
Martirosyan, and the fraction-by Stepan Safaryan. Several days ago,
Raffi Hovhannisyan vacated the seat reasoned by Armenia-Turkey
Protocols. Earlier Hovhannisyan resigned as head and leader of the
"Heritage" parliamentary faction.
