KHOSROV HARUTYUNYAN: ARMENIANS HAD ALWAYS BEEN EUROPE-LOOKING NATION

Politics

Khosrov Harutyunyan, former vice chair of state commission on 1700 anniversary of Christianity adoption in Armenia, was elected Saturday as a chair of Armenian Christian Democratic party. The party former leader Ida Martirossyan put up his candidacy immediately after submitting her resignation. Shortly after that it became clear that the election for the party chairmanship is uncontested.

The candidate made a speech. "Armenians are ancient people who had always been a Europe-orientated nation", Harutyunyan said in his speech.

Such a statement sounds at least strange taking into consideration the fact that ancient nations have formed far earlier than Europe became civilised.

Speaking on presidential elections Harutyunyan said the party hasn’t yet made decision in favour of any candidate, because none of them has released his program.
