Court dismissed case against Social Democrat Hunchakian party leader

PanARMENIAN.Net - About a year ago, a group of Social Democrat Hunchakian party members broke with the party on the initiative of Vahan Shirkhanyan and issued a suit against Lyudmila Sargsyan, Hunchakian party chairwoman, questing her legitimacy as the party leader.

“After a 6-month investigation, the court has dismissed the case due to time limitation. Thus, the authorities' plans to split the party were foiled,” Sargsyan told a news conference on July 13.

Meanwhile, she expressed willingness to negotiate with those party members who “diverted from the right path.”

As to disaccord in the Armenian National Congress, Sargsyan said that the ANC is a bloc made up of different opposition forces and contradictions should be eyed as a common occurrence.

“Anyway, all know that the ANC is the only force capable to oppose the incumbent leadership,” she said.
