Raffi Hovannisian Holds Press Briefing, Heads for Border Villages

Yerevan—Today, Raffi K. Hovannisian held a press briefing at Heritage Headquarters, where he discussed unequal campaign conditions in general and pressures being applied to Heritage in particular. In spite of this, Hovannisian asserted that Heritage is set to make up a relative majority of the new parliament. “We harbor no illusion that we will meet Armenia’s challenges alone,” he said, noting that Heritage both enjoys and endorses cooperation and unity as political principles.

Afterward, Heritage’s campaign bus “Toward Victory” took Hovannisian and his fellow candidates to Arax and other border villages between Etchmiadzin and Masis, where spontaneous public gatherings became the forum for citizens’ opinions, questions, and hopes.

Tomorrow, April 26, the campaign caravan will travel through Talin, Artik, Maralik, Akhurian, Amasia, Giumri, and other towns in the marzes of Aragatsotn and Shirak.
