Youth Party of Armenia (HEK) is leaving United Liberal National Party
(MIAK), HEK leader Vahan Babayan said at a press conference today.

Asked why he had come to the press conference wearing a cloth that
pictured the famous Argentinean revolutionist Che Guevara, Babayan
said: "That man is the symbol of youth, struggle and freedom."

He did not elaborate why HEK was going to abandon MIAK. Nor did he
speak about any disagreements between them.

"Disagreements are possible on any issue. There has been no serious
problem [between us]," said Babayan, advising to turn to the MIAK
secretary for any other detail about their move.

At the same time Babayan mentioned that they were in any way working
at two fronts while in MIAK.

"MIAK is extremely liberal, [while] we are a national power,"
explained he.

Speaking about their further work Babayan said they would back the
acting president Serzh Sargsyan and are planning to create a council
on youth issues with Sargsyan’s assistance.
