Heritage party's leader, Raffi Hovhannisyan, has called upon
the opposition forces to unite their efforts ahead of the May 6
parliamentary polls.
"Time has now arrived for all those who consider themselves
oppositionists to gather together around one table. It is necessary to
choose a comprehensive methodology that would ensure the presence of
one candidate in each constituency. It is necessary to demonstrate
consistency to attain a result through a comprehensive and tough
debate," he said at a news conference on Friday.
Hovhannisyan, who going to run for parliament as a single-mandate
candidate, has turned out to have nominated himself in the same
majority constituency as Nikol Pashinyan, the editor-in-chief of the
opposition newspaper Haykakan Zhamanak. But he told reporters he was
unaware of the fact when submitting his papers.
"When I nominated myself, I didn't know there was another opposition
candidate," he said.
The Heritage leader denied the reports that the party had been
following instructions.
"Instructions are being very widely discussed, but they too, comply
with certain instructions. My instruction, if anyone has doubts,
is dictated by my conscience, my belief and love. That's all," he said.
Hovhannisyan's intention to stand for election became known yesterday
night after the Central Election Commission (CEC) published the final
list of candidates.
