YEREVAN, APRIL 19, NOYAN TAPAN. The "Heritage" party’s candidates
for deputacy conducted a two-day electoral campaign in Vayots Dzor
and Syunik marzes.
According to a press release submitted by the party to NT, "this
tour did not pass without unplesant incidents either": in Areni the
campaign participants were met by the village head who stated that no
one has the right to conduct a propaganda campaign in Areni without
informing him 5 days in advance as he is the owner of the village.
Raffi Hovannisian made an attempt to call to order the village head
considering himself as the local serf-owner. R. Hovannisian said that
Areni is no property of anybody, it belongs to all residents of the
village, also – to the Armenian people.
