Syunik Governor created obstacles for Heritage party.

The Governor of Armenia`s Syunik marz (province) is reportedly hindering the opposition Heritage party from opening pre-election headquarters in the marz.

According to a press release by the Heritage party, the local authorities created obstacles for Heritage MP Zaruhi Postanjyan and activists of the party's Goris subdivision.
Under the pressure of authorities, local citizens, who had earlier agreed to provide space for the party's pre-election office, asked Heritage representatives to return the keys and remove the party's logo from the building façade.

To clarify the situation, Zaruhi Postanjyan called Syunik Governor Suren Khacahtryan who spoke to the MP using foul language.

"Heritage" strongly condemns the behavior of Syunik governor and calls the attention of the Central Election Commission and law enforcement bodies to the aforesaid incident. At the same time, the party urges to ensure equal footing for all political parties during the election campaign.
