As we have already informed, yesterday Raffi Hovhannisyan, the leader of the Heritage Party, was nominated in the 7th electoral district and will compete with Samvel Alexanyan nominated by the Republican Party of Armenia (RPA) and Nikol Pashinyan from the Armenian National Congress (ANC). In response to a question of www.aravot.am why R. Hovhannisyan had nominated himself and had not been nominated by the party decision, Artsvik Minasyan, an ARF MP, said, “You would see many such things in Raffi Hovhannisyan’s political attitude – beginning with the fact that many faction MPs constituted the minority on the party list, while there had been actively engaged in human rights protection.” Mr. Minasyan ruled out an arrangement between Samvel Alexanyan and R. Hovhannisyan, although that notion circulated on social networks yesterday.
As for responses to the same questions made by Artyusha Shahbazyan, the ARF faction secretary, watch the video.
