Heritage Starts its Election Campaign
Yerevan--The Heritage Party today convened the first of its citizens'
meetings at the Armenia Marriott Hotel, and formally announced the
commencement of its campaign for the parliamentary elections scheduled for
May 12. The event--which showcased the party's unity and resolve--brought
together leading intellectuals, representatives of non-governmental
organizations, journalists, and members of the public.
After a singing of the national anthem, "Mer Hayrenik," Vardan Khachatrian,
the director of Heritage's campaign headquarters, invited to the stage Raffi
K. Hovannisian, Armenia's first Minister of Foreign Affairs and leader of
the Heritage Party, and the other fifty individuals who make up the party's
proportional list. This was followed by celebratory tunes from the
world-famous Armenian Navy Band, with Arto Tuncboyaciyan at helm.
Raffi Hovannisian then took the podium. In a powerful keynote address, he
declared: "Today, we embark on our journey toward May 12. We set out to
become the masters of our Fatherland and our rights, our heritage and our
liberty. We are on our way to victory."
Some representatives of Heritage's proportional list were then invited to
the floor. Statements of solidarity were delivered by Armenia's first
Ombudswoman Larisa Alaverdian, school principal Anahit Bakhshian, and
others. Renowned actress Varduhi Varderesian's stirring address was
especially well-received by the capacity crowd.
In his closing remarks, Vardan Khachatrian expressed his appreciation to
Arto Tuncboyaciyan for his presence at Heritage's campaign launch-off. In
turn, Tuncboyaciyan expressed his own congratulations and commitments of
partnership, saying that our strength is in our unity. A final performance
of "Ararat" crowned and concluded the afternoon, as Heritage supporters left
the hall and began their campaign for Armenia.
Heritage has commenced its party campaign under the slogan "Faith and
Fatherland." In free and fair conditions, it is certain of its victory.
Founded in 2002, Heritage has regional divisions throughout the land. Its
central office is located at 31 Moscovian Street, Yerevan 0002, Armenia,
