Heritage opposition party did not initiate signatures collection to make Raffi Hovannisian recall his application requesting to vacate mandate. The faction leader Stepan Safaryan told NEWS.am that Hovannisian himself will do so by September 30.

Safaryan called the information on signatures collection “hogwash” of “Haykakan Zhamanak”, which is untrue.

Earlier, Hovannisian vacated his mandate, reasoning that he opposes Armenia-Turkey Protocols. In addition, he resigned as the leader of Heritage party and head of faction.
