Heritage Follows Through in Siunik, Receives Delegation From OSCE Election Observation Mission

Yerevan—On Thursday, April 19, the Heritage Party’s campaign bus “Toward Victory”—with party candidates, party faithful, and volunteers on board—continued its journey to the Siunik marz and surrounding cities and villages. This time, the Heritage representatives were joined by former Goris mayor, freedom fighter, and parliamentary candidate Samvel Harutiunian. As of 5pm Armenian local time, the Heritage campaign had held successful public meetings in Goris, Kapan, and several villages. The campaign mission also plans to meet with residents of Kajaran, Meghri, and Agarak.

Meanwhile, as volunteers continued to take the party’s message through Yerevan’s streets, Heritage board member Anahit Bakhshian and Martiros Boghikian, manager of Heritage’s Shengavit campaign headquarters, received Jeremy Franklin and Alexander Lukashyk of the OSCE Election Observation Mission. They discussed the pre-electoral campaign process and reaffirmed their commitment to free and fair elections—not just on May 12, but throughout the entire election season.

Tomorrow, April 20, a press briefing will be held at Heritage campaign headquarters in Yerevan.

Also tomorrow, at the Court of Appeals on Criminal Matters, a hearing is scheduled regarding the “Armenian Watergate”—the theft of sensitive information from the database of Heritage headquarters.
