TWO PARTIES WITH THE SAME NAME? SOCIAL DEMOCRAT HUNCHUKIAN PARTY PROTESTS, CHARGES FRAUD

The Social Democrat Hunchukian Party (SDHP) yesterday received an
undated letter in which someone by the name of Gevorg Perkuperkyan,
identifying himself as the SDHP leader, is demanding the party within
three days surrender the party flag, certificate of registration,
party seal and all other party-related documents, SDHP leader Lyudmila
Sargsyan told reporters in Yerevan today.
“In addition, through various courts they tried to dispute the
legitimacy of my chairmanship. Two court rulings affirmed this
legitimacy and on Jan. 9, 2010, I was re-elected chair – this was
followed by several complaint appeals to the police (these were
already after the rulings). They were unable to achieve anything;
later they initiated these fabrications, which we found out about
yesterday. We’re taken aback that our judicial system, with all its
defects and omissions, could come up with such a fabrication,” she
said, meaning, how could the judicial system allow another person
to register a political party having the exact same name as one that
already exists and is registered.
Sargsyan recalled that a year ago there was another attempt to register
a political party in SDHP’s name, but which her party blocked at the
state registry. Afterwards, a separate Hunchukian Party (slightly
different name) was registered, the leader of which is Gevorg
Perkuperkyan. It is assumed that this same man is now changing the
name of his Hunchukian Party to Social Democrat Hunchukian Party.
“This is the fact: there is a Social Democrat Hunchukian Party
registered in Armenia, that’s us, and no one can dispute this – with
all the documents, our coat of arms, and our flag registered with the
Intellectual Property Agency [of Armenia]. And it’s perplexing on what
they’re pinning their hopes, and that the justice system and the state
registry thought they can engage in such a secret scheme,” she said.
Lyudmila Sargsyan informed the press that her party yesterday sent
a letter to the justice minister, requesting to identify and punish
those who are carrying out these schemes.
