ANC respects Heritage party's decisionMarch 24, 2009 - 16:42 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - "We're very sorry ANC and Heritage failed to submit a united election list and also regret the latter's refusal to participate in Mayoral elections," ANC Press secretary Arman Musinyan told a news conference today. "Still, we respect wishes of Heritage.""It would be incorrect to dwell on steps ANC or Heritage took to establish collaboration. We can't divulge confidential information," Musinyan stated. Earlier Heritage announced its decision to recall their participation in Mayoral elections, as no agreement had been reached between ANC and Heritage. "The Heritage Party, acknowledges that if, under the condition of a low political culture reigning in the country, the opposition participates in the elections with two separate lists, the ensuing clash will be inevitable, and the victims will be the whole opposition and the entire people," Heritage statement said..
