YEREVAN. – The circulating rumors, according to which the Armenian opposition Heritage Party is not too enthusiastic about forming a bloc with the Free Democrats Party for the upcoming parliamentary elections, are nonsense, Heritage’s Parliamentary Faction leader Stepan Safaryan told Armenian News-NEWS.am.    

In his words, if for some people there exist forces that instruct them from across the Atlantic Ocean, there are no such forces in the case of Heritage. ‘“The Heritage Party itself decides what is beneficial for it, and what is not,’ Heritage’s leader Raffi Hovannisian stated with respect to deepening relations with the Free Democrats Party. I have nothing to add to his statement,” Safaryan said.      

As Armenian News-NEWS.am informed earlier, there are rumors that Armenian opposition Heritage Party is not too enthusiastic about forming a bloc with the Free Democrats for the upcoming parliamentary elections, Hayatsk daily wrote. “But those across the [Atlantic] Ocean [that is, the US] made the Free Democrats understand that if Heritage attempts to oppose the ‘bloc project,’ they will place their ‘bets’ on the Free Democrats alone. [And] On the 18th of the month, Raffi Hovannisian’s party will most likely ‘approve’ the US plan to enter the parliament in a bloc with the Free Democrats,” Hayatsk wrote.
