In accordance with Section 4.10 of the Charter of the Heritage Party, in
pursuit of the national imperative to effect a democratic transformation in

securing a dignified life for all Armenian citizens, Heritage's Council

RESOLUTION
The Republic of Armenia, which regained its independence in 1991, stands now
before a historic decision--between becoming the cradle for citizen and
citizenship and continuing to bear the widespread unlawfulness and
unproductive governance of recent years, which threaten to turn Armenia into
a hopeless territory. The choice is ours to make, and the right choice will
usher our state into a new era of pride and prosperity in which:
-- The citizen is the value supreme and the cornerstone of the
country.
-- Statehood is the guarantee for civil and national perpetuity,
and the government, with its separate branches, is the constitutionally
affirmed trustee of the people.
-- The parliament is the reflection of the political unity of all
citizens and, as it is justly formed by the will of the people and functions
openly and accountably, enjoys the legitimacy of public trust.
-- The media, free from censorship and any form of coercion, are an
independent estate of societal oversight.
In such an Armenia, the state is intertwined with the citizen and the
citizen with the state. Free nations shall consider ours an equal,
sovereign, respected, and secure land.
Our creed comprises:
-- The interest of the nation;
-- The rule of law; and
-- The country of the citizen.
Recognizing the difficulties placed against the achievement of that goal,
nonetheless distinguishing the shape of such an Armenia on the horizon, and
endorsed by the power of law and our common resolve, we, the Heritage Party
candidates who are herewith nominated through the proportional format, agree
that to ensure a broad public involvement and to guarantee that every
citizen is the master of the country, it is indispensable:
-- to take our message everywhere and to everyone, and to enlist
among our ranks the disappointed and the content, the alienated and the
integrated, the segregated and the self-segregated;
-- to awaken the people's confidence in their own power and Armenia's
future;
-- to fight for the execution of fair elections, a joint battle
against fear, lawlessness and permissiveness, disaffection and apathy;
-- to create, in order to secure democratic due processes and
specifically to hold a poll that every citizen deserves, a sound and
participatory environment and, obviating the application of intimidation and
threat, to guarantee conditions that will define free and fair elections;
and
-- to respect one another, to believe in our individual relevance
and collective success, and to become the masters of our Homeland--the land
of our dreams and our liberty.
We are determined to gain victory at the parliamentary elections and,
together with other democratic forces in the country, to form a national
government which earns the people's trust and moves to launch systemic
changes in the current year.
We shall build a nation united and free, starting today and standing
together. In the name of Faith and Fatherland.
