Raffi Hovannisian about Ruben Hakhverdyan's "Azerbaijani province."

The leader of "Heritage" party Raffi Hovhannisyan disagrees with yesterday famous Armenian singer Ruben Hakhverdyan's expressed view at Liberty Square, that "person, who comes from the Azerbaijani province, should not rule Armenia." RA presidential candidate, who according to the official data, took the second place in the presidential elections said this at a conference today.

Raffi Hovannisian said he did not agree with Ruben hahverdyan, but also respects his right of free speech.

To note, that yesterday Hakhverdyan said that in his time "as Secretary of the Komsomol in Azerbaijan, Nagorno-Karabakh then was still part of Azerbaijan, Serzh Sargsyan to present guides such thinking." The musician urged the audience to pay attention to with whom Serzh Sargsyan surrounded himself.

Noting in particular the Minister of Education and Science and Minister of Culture, Hakhverdyan stressed that "they are not the leaders." "He surrounded himself with sycophants, are they professional?" Hakhverdyan said, adding that "person, who comes from the Azerbaijani province, should not rule Armenia." Noting that on Saturday, along with 5-7 singers he is going to give a concert, Hakhverdyan noted that all of them support the national movement.
