Heritage Party conducts anti-state activities and national security
bodies should be interested in them, Constitutional Rights Union
(CRU) party leader, Hayk Babukhanyan, told Tert.am, pointing to his
statement about Heritage released a few days ago.

"We made a political statement, and national security bodies should
be interested in why Heritage’s delegates have a strange conduct in
the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe especially at
a time when it is set to discuss major issues relating to Armenia’s
foreign policy," said Babukhanyan.

The CRU leader also said it was necessary to make amendments in the
"Law about Political Parties." According to Babukhanyan, amendments
should be made in the section of the law which relates to the financing
of parties, in particular.

"If the party is financed from abroad, it means that they [the party
members] are carrying out orders [acting in the interest of others].

In this case, such a change in the law becomes a priority," he said.

"We do hope that corresponding bodies will respond to our political
statement," Babukhanyan concluded.
