Opposition Party Open To Alliance With Ex-Ministers

A senior member of Raffi Hovannisian’s opposition Zharangutyun (Heritage) on Friday did not rule out the possibility of forming an electoral alliance with former Foreign Minister Vartan Oskanian and former Defense Minister Seyran Ohanian.

Armen Martirosian, Zharangutyun’s deputy chairman, said he and Hovannisian believe that their party will stand a better chance of achieving regime change if it joins forces with other opposition groups ahead of the April 2 parliamentary elections. He said they have already held consultations with potential allies.

Martirosian did not exclude that Zharangutyun will team up with Oskanian and Ohanian. Oskanian said last month he met with Hovannisian and Ohanian recently.

In Martirosian’s words, Zharangutyun’s governing board will make a final decision on the possible election bloc in the next few days.

At least one board member, Zaruhi Postanjian, has publicly spoken out against teaming up with Oskanian and Ohanian.
