Expert forecasts increase in number of Heritage party supporters at parliamentary electionMarch 1, 2011 - 14:47 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Analyst Anush Sedrakyan forecasts growth in the number of Heritage party supporters during the upcoming parliamentary election. Heritage is a party, which seeks contacts with the electorate itself and looks for sources of alternative protest movements, Sedrakyan told journalists. According to her, the fact that the party lacks a bureaucratic apparatus proves that it is not affiliated with and is not economically supported by the authorities. Expert for political and electoral technologies Armen Badalyan noted for his part that Heritage is not a serious political force. According to him, though Heritage is rather active in the parliament, however the lack of territorial bodies will affect the party during the upcoming elections. Besides, the party’s being leader-oriented is disadvantageous, while Raffi Hovannisian does not handle the role of the party’s leader very well.
