Leader of “Heritage” mentions names, “Seyran Ohanyan, Aram Sargsyan… There are full political figures, with whom I agree, with whom I had serious disagreements, people, who have offended me.” People in Armenia demand changes. This fact makes the leader of “Heritage” cooperate with his former rivals. The observations on Vartan Oskanian’s and Seyran Ohanian’s complicity in March 1st aren’t an obstacle, too. “As of now there can be no complicity, as there was no trial. We say new authorities, new Armenia, and open the courts, but not this court, which sentences our active citizen to two years’ imprisonment,” he says. Today Raffi Hovannisian has met with Seyran Ohanyan. He reminded former Minister of Defense that during his years in position, the army participated in vote rigging, “Ohanyan Seyran has important state experience, has much to give to our country, he can also become a future head.” Everybody may make mistakes including me, says Raffi Hovannisian and adds that just because of his mistake in 2012 from Heritage Armen Martirosyan, Stepan Safaryan and Anahit Bakhshyan didn’t become lawmakers. Discussions are underway in “Heritage” on the format of upcoming voting. “In two weeks you can see whether ‘Heritage’ will participate separately in unequal struggle, or with alliances with unlikely allies, with whom it had disagreements, but forgave them,” he said. Today Raffi Hovannisian was present at the reading of the court decision in connection with “New Armenia” salvation front member Gevorg Safaryan. Raffi Hovannisian considers two years’ imprisonment of the activist to be illegal, anti civil and criminal decision ordered by Serzh Sargsyan.
