Stepan Demirchyan reelected as head of People’s Party of Armenia

Stepan Demirchyan was reelected as chairman of People’s Party of Armenia (HZhK) at the regular 8th congress of HZhK today, the press service of the party reported.

During the congress, an 80-member HZhK Board and a 12-member Political Council were also elected. Grigor Harutyunian, Stepan Minasyan and Felix Khachatryan were elected as secretaries of the HZhK Political Council.

A statement was adopted at the congress. It reads:

“Noting that the country is in a calamitous state due to the activities of the current regime, the congress says that the country is in need of drastic systemic changes, which necessitates unification of social and political forces.

The formation of legitimate authority through democratic elections, rather than the implementation of constitutional reforms, remains the primary task”.

According to the statement, HZhK Party rejects the constitutional changes initiated by the regime. “The crisis in the country is due to violation of the Constitution, not to its imperfection,” HZhK said in its statement.
