Syunik Governor Obstructs Establishment of Heritage Office

Goris–On March 29, 2012, the regional authorities of Syunik prevented
Heritage activists and Member of Parliament Zaruhi Postanjyan from
establishing regional election headquarters in Syunik.

Citizens living in Goris had earlier provided Heritage with an
office. After receiving pressure from the authorities, however, the
citizens were forced to ask the party to return the office keys and
remove the Heritage emblem from the building.

When asked for an explanation over the phone, Syunik Governor Surik
Khachatryan, a Republican Party candidate for parliament, merely
insulted Postanjyan.

Heritage strongly condemns the governor’s behavior and submits it to
the attention of the Central Election Commission and relevant law
enforcement bodies. Heritage also demands that equal competitive
conditions be protected for all political forces during the
pre-election season.
