Zoya Tadevosyan and Movses Aristakesyan, two member of the Heritage Party recently expelled from the ranks, told "Hetq" that party leader has sent a letter to the party’s governing board and expelled members in which the American-born founder of Heritage states that he is leaving politics for good. Heritage Party press spokesperson Hovsep Khourshoudyan told "Hetq" that the letter in question will not be made public since it is an internal party document. "I am saddened that Zoya Tadevosyan is exploiting an internal correspondence and misrepresenting its contents." Mr. Khourshoudyan claims that Mr. Hovhannisyan has not abandoned the party. "It is misinformation and nothing of the kind has happened." Anahit Pakhshyan, a member of the Heritage Party governing board and a parliamentary deputy, told "Hetq" that Mr. Hovhannisyan’s letter contains nothing about his leaving the party. Zoya Tadevosyan argues that the contents of te letter must be made public to all party members. "Otherwise, they will believe that the board members are acting on his behalf. But in fact Mr. Hovhannisyan has severed his connection with Heritage," she states. The letter in question was addressed to Heritage Party Office Coordinator Gevorg Kalenchyan. Zoya Tadevosyan says, "In the left hand corner of the letter are the names of those who it is directed to. We are taking turns visiting Kalenchyan and reading it." We at "Hetq" have been unable to get in touch with Mr. Kalenchyan by phone.
