Heritage party leader Raffi Hovannisian has urged the president of European People's Party (EPP) Wilfried Martens and U.S. President Barack Obama against preaching democracy to Armenian people.

“Martens distorted the European values by issuing a congratulatory address on Armenian presidential elections. I don’t indulge in illusions. Martens does,” Raffi Hovannisian said, adding that Heritage will review its EPP membership in the future.

Heritage leader voiced confidence for the party to leave EPP, if the latter shares Martens’s position on Armenian presidential vote.
