Hovhannisan then.

Today “Heritage” leader also referred to some other issues. Especially, he said that he believed coning elections would be democratic. He noted that freedom, justice are not alien categories for our country. “”Heritage” party has a proportional list which includes representatives of two parties, young people, elders, ecologists, who present the whole image of the societ”, Hovhannisyan said. The speaker underlined that the list should have larger frame and he would be on the 20^th place but they entered to the great field of practical and political calculations. “We will stand in front of society proudly as a united team. Five years ago we participated in the elections for the first time and “Heritage” won at Yerevan. We were one of the leaders”, Hovhannisyan said. He considers that not only the human elementary rights but also the national interest in the region must be presented and protected.
