YEREVAN.- Armenia’s Heritage Party says the first week of election campaign showed that a group of political forces is working against them.

During a Monday press conference, Vice Chairman Ruben Hakobyan called it a preplanned action against the Heritage Party aimed to discredit the opposition force.

“The first week showed strategic moods of the parties, majority of them representing pseudo opposition forces. Their aim is to discredit Heritage and deprive it of votes,” Hakobyan said.

Opposition Heritage Party is a liberal party founded in 2002. The proportional list of the party includes members of extra-parliamentary opposition Free Democrats Party and civil society representatives.

Heritage has also nominated MP candidates with the majority election system.
