    "We do not want a revolution, it is not our way, we will struggle to
    change the authorities and follow a path to be chosen by our leader,"
    the head of the Artashat branch of the People's Party of Armenia
    [PPA], Aramayis Barsegyan, said at party leader [MP Stepan]
    Demirchyan's meeting with members of the party.

    Demirchyan confirmed that they intended to replace the authorities in
    a peaceful manner. He said: "Of course, we will do everything as soon
    as possible in order to implement these changes." Asked about the
    party's plans to stage mass rallies, Demirchyan said: "This will
    happen."

    A member of the PPA's political council, Ruben Gandilyan, expressed
    his dissatisfaction with resent statements by some leaders of the
    [opposition] Justice bloc member parties who criticized Demirchyan for
    his indecision.

    Demirchyan informed the audience of the party's programme. "We will
    take part in the elections to local governments," he said, adding that
    "the authorities will once again rig the elections".
