Founding leader of Heritage opposition party Raffi Hovannisian addressed an official letter to Armenian President, leader of ruling Republican Party of Armenia (RPA), Serzh Sargsyan. In the letter, the Heritage leader called for urgent measures to ensure free and fair elections in Armenia. As important steps towards achieving that objective, Raffi Hovannisian urges Serzh Sargsyan and other government officials to depoliticize the education system and resign as chairmen of trusteeship boards of universities. He also calls for withdrawing all RPA offices from the territory of municipalities and other local-self-government offices across Armenia, and removing the RPA's logo from those buildings and other institutions considered public property - houses of culture, universities, schools, etc. The Heritage leader also calls for banning RPA campaigns at the presidential office and urges Serzh Sargsyan against the use of administrative resources during elections. Hovannisian also urges the country leader to ensure equal competition, including equal funding for all candidates running for election. The measures are essential in fulfillment of presidential vow to hold free and fair elections in Armenia.
