Heritage Campaign Heads for Vayots Dzor and Siunik, Receives Delegation From
the International Republican Institute
On Wednesday, April 18, Heritage Party candidates, party faithful, and
volunteers took the campaign bus "Toward Victory" on a two-day journey to
the Vayots Dzor and Siunik marzes and surrounding cities and villages.
During their first stop at Zangakatun, they placed flowers at the Paruir
Sevak memorial and visited the great poet's home-museum.
The campaign journey contunied at Yegheknadzor, where Raffi K. Hovannisian
and party representatives received a warm reception by local residents.
Successful public meetings were held also in Malishka, Vayk, Jermuk, and
Sisian. At Vayk, it is worth mentioning, the meeting was held at an
auditorium provided by the town hall.
Regrettably, however, the journey also had its share of unfortunate
incidents. At Areni, the village elder confronted Heritage representatives,
saying that no one could hold any election campaign in his village without a
5-day notice. Raffi Hovannisian, however, corrected the village elder.
"Areni is no one's private property. It first belongs to all the villagers,
and then to the entire people of Armenia," he said.
Today and tomorrow, "Toward Victory" takes its message to the Vayots Dzor
and Siunik marzes and surrounding cities and villages.
Also today at campaign headquarters in Yerevan, Heritage Party spokesman
Hovsep Khurshudian, manager of the party's headquarters Gevorg Kalenchian,
Heritage's representative at the Central Election Commission Armen
Martirosian, and party faithful received a delegation from the International
Republican Institute (IRI). The delegation comprised director Stephen B. Nix
of IRI's Eurasia Division, in-country representative Meri Kosian, and Rasa
Alisauskiene, an expert from the Baltic Services of the Gallup Organization.
The guests presented the latest results of IRI's survey, according to which
Heritage's rating registers a steady monthly growth. It is also apparent
that the majority of the Armenian public is dissatisfied with the current
situation and places its hopes on noble, untainted, trustworthy, and
patriotic political figures. The majority of the poll's respondents still
consider Raffi Hovannisian one such person.
Founded in 2002, Heritage has regional divisions throughout the land. Its
central office is located at 31 Moscovian Street, Yerevan 0002, Armenia,
with telephone contact at (374-10) 536.913, fax at (374-10) 532.697, email
