Social Democrat Hunchakian Party (SDHP) members issued a statement,
with which, perhaps, they respond to various news circulated recently
on Vardan Khachatryan’s SDHP membership.

"We, SDHP members, Albert Gabrielyan (SDHP member since 1991),
Alexander Alekyan (SDHP member since 1993) and Edik Petrosyan (SDHP
member since 2001) state that on November 2, 2009, SDHP’s press
spokesperson Narek Galstyan circulated disinformation on the web in
violation of SDHP’s statues. He stated that Vardan Khachatryan, who
left Heritage Party, is still a member of SDHP. The SDHP board will
refer to Galstyan’s statement at the board meeting. As for Khachatyan,
we, as SDHP board members, state that he is no longer a SDHP member
since October 31, 2009, and acccording to the Republic of Armenia Law
on RA Parties (passed on July 3, 2002) and program-regulation of SDHP,
no one is entitled to void the party board’s decision.

SDHP will return to Khachatryan’s application one year later," the
release circulated by SDHP board members states.
