Heritage member says black PR used against the party

Heritage representative believes black PR is used against the party.

“Anti-Heritage propaganda, as well as media working to distort the party-related facts are a live prove of the above,” Armen Martirosyan told a news conference.

The MP, however, expressed confidence for the trust of voters and their skepticism of blacklisting attempts. “Heritage never proclaimed any dogmas, providing every member of the party a right for freedom of thought and expression. It’s impossible to find any contradictions in our line of actions,” Martirosyan said.

“There are no robbers or instigators among Heritage members, however, as party leader Raffi Hovannisian said “We forgive everyone”,” Martirosyan concluded.

Parliamentary elections, due in Armenia on May 6, feature 8 political parties, Republican Party of Armenia (RPA), Prosperous Armenia, ARF Dashnaktsutyun (ARFD), Orinats Yerkir, Heritage, Democratic Party of Armenia (DPA), Communist Party of Armenia and United Armenian party, as well as one election bloc represented by opposition Armenian National Congress (ANC).
