Today www.aravot.am inquired of Naira Karapetyan, a Republican Party of Armenia (RPA) MP, whether the rumblings between the Heritage Party and the Free Democrats Party had made an impression on her that Khachatur Kokobelyan didn’t wish to renounce the office in
any way or Raffi Hovhannisyan had misunderstood. Naira Karapetyan replied, “I am looking forward to seeing who will take Raffi Hovhannisyan’s seat. I have learned from the official statements that perhaps, they haven’t understood something; they will sit down, speak and understand. Both the Heritage Party and the Free Democrats Party are rather active in the National Assembly.”
Let us remind that Raffi Hovhannisyan made a statement that Khachatur Kokobelyan hadn’t kept his man’s word and Kokobelyan made a statement in response that establishing a coalition didn’t mean to control the seats single-handedly.

According to Naira Karapetyan, “I don’t understand the division between men and women on the political stage or steps of man and non-man. Everyone should keep his word. If a politician says a sentence, s/he should keep his/her word in any case. They know on what principles the coalition between the Free Democrats Party and the Heritage Party is based. I am very sorry that there are such speculations in that political force, because there were very strong young representatives there. If there are rumblings among them at the moment, I as a human being am very sorry. Perhaps it is related to a fight for an office, perhaps to the presidential election, perhaps, to that one seat, I cannot make any assessment. It may be very personal, there may be speculations like my party should be more represented than yours and it may be even more personal, let this seat be taken by this person and that one by that person. And it is a dictate.”
