Karine Hakobyan leaves "Heritage" Party.

Secretary of "Heritage" Party Karine Hakobyan said she was leaving the party during a press conference today.

"I regret to say that this is not the party's criticism, but my self-criticism. I have had many disagreements with the party, and this decision was the last straw. I think people should lead the course until the end and be principled. We shouldn't have limited ourselves to one letter against the opening of foreign language schools and should have formed a social movement, but we didn't," mentioned Hakobyan.

She mentioned that her decision was also related to the party's pre-electoral list.

"It's not about the list. It's about a cadre policy that should be hinged on principles. There are unknown youth on our list. I am not against seeing youth on the list, but they should be known to the public and should be people who will fight," mentioned Hakobyan.

"Many were against the logic of the list, but the difference between me and them is that many of them have become popular through Raffi Hovhannisian and depend on him," mentioned Karine Hakobyan.

She informed that she had refused to take part in a process that she thought was unfair.

Hakobyan also informed that during the party's board session, Larisa Alaverdyan had also said she was against the logic of the list and had declared that she was stepping out of the election campaign.

"She didn't mention the reason, but I think it was because of the list. She has currently agreed to be 41st on the list as support to the party," mentioned the "Heritage" Party secretary.
