YEREVAN. - Our party will alone overcome the minimal threshold and enter the new parliament.

Deputy Chairman of Heritage Party Armen Martirosyan stated the aforementioned in an interview with Armenian News – NEWS.am.

Heritage Party has launched preliminary discussions with political forces regarding the format of participation in the parliamentary elections of 2017. At the same time, there are opinions that the force, which once had half a million voters, has merely exhausted itself today, and will not be included in the composition of the next parliament.

Armen Martirosyan has his own standpoint on this. He noted that the authorities adhere to this methodology in regard to Heritage, since this force has been recently taking active part in the inter-political events of the country, specifically, in the July struggle.

“The problems in the country should be solved with joint efforts, that is, a single bloc should take part in the parliamentary elections,” Martiroyan said.

He also stressed that in the run-up to the April elections, Heritage is going to call a congress, during which they will precisely present their steps and come up with a final statement.

Referring to the resource needed for taking part in the electoral processes, Martirosyan recalled that their territorial offices still continue to work.

 “Heritage doesn’t exist? What does this mean? The party is strong by virtue of its structures, and all of our structures work. We took an active part in all the processes launched this year. How can Heritage not exist? This is merely bait!  Our party will alone overcome the minimal threshold and enter the new parliament. This is out of question,” Martirosyan concluded.  

In his words, it is already clear for them which parties they will form a bloc with, however he declined to mention specific names.
