Journalists asked Heritage Party MP Armen Martirosyan in parliament today to comment on the vote by the Armenian Revolutionary Federation (Dashnaktsutyun, or ARF-D), which represents itself as an opposition party, for the Republican Party of Armenia (HHK) candidate and not Heritage Party MP Larisa Alaverdyan (pictured) in the elections for National Assembly chair.
Martirosyan said that that was the ARF-D’s belief and political will and he can do nothing about it.
Recall, 102 MPs voted in favor of HHK candidate Samvel Nikoyan, while opposition representative Larisa Alaverdyan received only 4 votes.
Alaverdyan, however, said she had no problems commenting on the ARF-D move.
According to her, voting for Nikoyan in no way will affect Heritage Party and ARF-D relations, when there is a fight for political and public matters.
One of these issues is the ARF-D bill on expressing a vote of no confidence to the RA Government, which, as Martirosyan noted, the Heritage Party will be in favor of.
