YEREVAN, APRIL 23, NOYAN TAPAN. "Now that "Heritage" party is
strengthening its positions as a party with claims for the majority
in the future parliament, the political attacks on it are increasing,
from acts of pouring paint on its regional offices to actions of local
"authoritative persons", sometimes also officials, as well as policemen
and security service employees with the aim of intimidation. This is
said in a press release issued by the "Heritage " party. According to
the press release, "two young girls, who were distrubuting leaflets
of "Heritage" in Yerevan's Avan community on Friday - April 20,
were also subjected to violence: four unknown men seized about 300
brochures from them in a rude way. The polive compiled a protocol
and is conducting an investigation into this incident."
"Similar incidents, which have become frequent, as well as obvious
denial of the "Heritage"'s right to put up posters and boards in
public and private places show that the atmosphere of injustice and
intimidation of the pre-electoral stage is gradually increasing. The
party will continue presenting facts about such obstacles to the
Armenian public and the observer groups. The OSCE observer mission
has beeen informed about it," the press release reads.
