    The Heritage Party convened its Eighth Congress on June 2 with the
    participation of 150 delegates from across Armenia.

    Raffi K. Hovannisian presented his `State of the State' address
    highlighting Armenia's domestic challenges and foreign policy
    priorities in this critical interval between the parliamentary
    elections just past and the presidential polls set for early next
    year.

    He called for an unprecedented consolidation of civil society,
    political forces, and the intelligentsia in order to liberate the
    nation from the long-standing shackles of fraudulent, `de facto only'
    elections and to deliver the first legitimate, de jure presidency
    since inception of the Republic.

    The Congress elected a new governing board composed of Hovannisian,
    Anahit Bakhshyan, Stepan Safaryan, Armen Martirosyan, Zaruhi
    Postanjyan, Hovsep Khurshudyan, Gagik Margaryan, Susanna Muradyan,
    Lusine Petrosyan, and Margarita Hakobyan.

    Meeting later in executive session, the board reelected Raffi
    Hovannisian as its leader, selecting Armen Martirosyan to serve as
    vice chair in charge of public policy and Stepan Safaryan as secretary
    general for international affairs.

    It also decided to authorize Heritage's parliamentary delegation to
    resume work at the National Assembly, suggesting Ruben Hakobyan as its
    head and Zaruhi Postanjyan as secretary. Heritage Party Press Service
    reports that a special determination will be made regarding
    Hovannisian's participation in advance of the legislature's fall
    session scheduled to open in September.
