HOVANNISIAN, HERITAGE ENTER PARLIAMENT
Yerevan--Heritage Party chairman Raffi K. Hovannisian and his six
colleagues from Heritage's proportional list picked up their
parliamentary mandates today from the Central Election Commission.
Armenia's first ombudswoman Larisa Alaverdian, theology professor
Vardan Khachatrian, educator Anahit Bakhshian, political scientist
Styopa Safarian, civil rights lawyer Zaruhi Postanjian, and university
lecturer Armen Martirosian then joined Hovannisian in walking to the
National Assembly building on Baghramian Boulevard and taking their
place in the Republic's legislature.
Heritage, which most observers agree earned an overwhelming vote of
confidence in its first-ever parliamentary elections and in fact took
first place in Yerevan, was later officially registered with but six
percent of the total vote. In view of this glaring manifestation of
vote theft, Heritage had not taken part in the National Assembly's
opening session pending last Sunday's judgment of the Constitutional
Court on the validity of the polls.
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 at [email protected] or [email protected], and website
