Founder of the Heritage Party Raffi Hovhannisyan has issued a statement
today, in which he confirms his decision to withdraw his resignation.

"My Fellow Countrymen: I have been urged by compatriots both in
Armenia and in our broad Diaspora to take up the challenge and use
the limited forum that the National Assembly offers to speak in the
name of truth and justice no matter what the odds.

Hence, in deference to this strong groundswell of support and urgency,
I am withdrawing my resignation and will resume my responsibilities
as a member of the Heritage faction, which for the past two years
has consistently demonstrated its commitment to human rights and
fundamental freedoms, an end to illegal political persecution and
imprisonment, and the dignity, integrity and security of the Republic
of Armenia and the Armenian people worldwide," Raffi Hovhannisyan
said in a statement.
