PanARMENIAN.Net - Hcnhak party leaders from world's different countries have welcomed and recognized the Social Democratic party's new administration elected during the extraordinary congress.



"Hnchak party representatives from 22 states will hereafter collaborate with Perkupekyan-led administration," the chairman of the party's central board Sedrak Achemyan told a joint news conference with governing board member Vahan Shirkhanyan.



According to Shirkhanyan, the congress could not be considered illegal as it was convened by the demand of almost all Hnchakyan cells which participated in the meeting, "Participants also made a decision on excluding Gurgen Yeghiazaryan and Lyudmila Sargsyan from the party," he added.



Besides, he said, the congress decided to declare null and void Lyudmila Sargsyan's decision on dissolving party cells and exclusion of several members.



When asked by a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter about the reasons, Shirkhanyan said it was "necessary for healing the party's atmosphere". "Members also decided to form a special committee which will study the party's activity during period of Lyudmila Sargsyan's governance and submit a relevant report," he noted.
