ArmInfo."At one time, I proposed Armen Sargsyan to the post of the Armenian Ambassador to the United Kingdom and I am proud of his activities," Heritage party leader Raffi Hovhannisyan told journalists, explaining the reasons for his presence at the inauguration ceremony of the 4th president against the absence of representatives of other large opposition forces.
At that, he expressed hope that after the election of Armen Sargsyan as Armenia's president, Armenia could "gradually change". Nevertheless, contradicting himself, Hovhannisyan noted that one person, whoever he was, can not make radical changes. "But every citizen can contribute to the process of changing our country," he said, stressing that Armen Sarkisian has experience in managing the state, doing business, as well as diplomatic experience. "If he can use this for the benefit of the country, we will get out of the situation we are in now," Hovhannisyan said.
Meanwhile, the "Heritage" party is actively participating in the opposition protest actions against Serzh Sargsyan and his associates these days.
Today, the inauguration ceremony of Armen Sargsyan was held, at which representatives of the opposition bloc Yelk, leader of the Tsarukyan block Gagik Tsarukyan, first and second presidents of Armenia Levon Ter-Petrosyan and Robert Kocharian were not present. But the ceremony was attended by President of Artsakh Bako Sahakyan. In general, the ceremony was attended by 1,300 people, diplomats, guests from abroad. However, the heads of foreign states and official foreign delegations were not present at the ceremony.
