But if the issue is that getting into the National Assembly, so that we make our 7 [seats] into 15 or we make extra-parliamentary status to parliamentary, and expect that with this, Armenia will change, I think these are unfounded expectations. And this issue has to be solved through the most impossible resolutions and joint federal work,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>The opposition party leader expressed confidence that his party will acquire more seats in the next parliament, but didn&#8217;t elaborate the reasons for his conviction. Note, the Heritage Party currently holds 7 seats.<\/p>\n<p>On the topic of the likelihood of his candidacy in the 2013 presidential elections: &#8220;There are hundreds of men and women who can be presidential candidates. Finally, we have to have a legal country this side of 1995, and to make this a reality, to bring this closer, I am prepared to make my candidacy more likely and more unlikely,&#8221; he said, rather cryptically.<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On the topic of the likelihood of his candidacy in the 2013 presidential elections, Heritage Party leader Raffi Hovannisian&#8230;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on get_the_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on get_the_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":96900,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"tstyn_error":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[12075,26742,26743,12077],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/epress.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/96932"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/epress.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/epress.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/epress.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/epress.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=96932"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/epress.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/96932\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/epress.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/96900"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/epress.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=96932"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/epress.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=96932"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/epress.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=96932"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
