Heritage member Ruben Hakobyan said during today's press conference in
Freedom Square that one of the main achievements of the movement is
the non-monopolization of the platform and the fact that the civil
sector has the possibility to express its opinion. He noted with
regret that the vocabulary of some ANC figures does not differ from
the Republican lexicon. Hakobyan added that there are devoted people
in the ANC, but some of them are against the movement.
Dwelling on the issue of negotiations with the authorities, Heritage
member said that dialogue is when even worst enemies sit and talk. He
noted that being opposition and making a part of the state management
is accepted in the whole world.
As to the precedent of dialogue between the power and the Armenian
National Congress, Ruben Hakobyan said that the existence of the
precedent does not mean that they should be afraid of trying. In
this context, Hakobyan thinks that if the political force has bars
and immune system, it can go to dialogue keeping its principles and
never lose. The bar, according to him, is in place now.
He underlined that the culture of dialogue has been absent in Armenia
since 1996 which makes the state and the society, as well as the
power suffer. Heritage is trying to introduce this culture.
Asked why Heritage demands only Serzh Sargsyan's resignation but
not the resignations of the minister of justice, police chief and
prime minister, Ruben Hakobyan said that there are forces, which keep
demanding the resignation of the prime minister but don't demand the
president's, but, according to him, prime minister has less powers
than the chief security guard of an oligarch.
Ruben Hakobyan noted that they demand revision of the rigged elections
which means they demand the resignation of all officials which have
any relation to the frauds.
Asked why Heritage does not release the names of people it wants
to appoint to the offices Serzh Sargsyan proposes, Ruben Hakobyan
says that such attempts have been made, but those figures, whose
candidacies were proposed, have been criticized.
