YEREVAN, AUGUST 14, NOYAN TAPAN. The Armenian National Congress (ANC),
whose short-term goal is resignation of president Serzh Sargsyan,
also has a long-term goal: to create a union that will undertake the
function of governance in the country. ANC today is already developing
a model of "shadow government", coordinator of the ANC Center Levon
Zurabian stated at the August 14 press conference.
He appealed to Armenian citizens to join ANC and announced that
individual admission of citizens to ANC starts on August 18. As
regards political forces, L. Zurabian said that the ANC consisting
of 16 parties is open to other parties for joining it.
Speaking about the next steps of the opposition, L. Zurabian said that
in the future too ANC will exercise its constitutional right to apply
to the mayor's office for notification about holding a meeting. In
his words, ANC is more interested in holding sanctioned meetings that
"pass in a less strained atmosphere".
According to L. Zurabian, ANC tries to prove to PACE and other
international organizations that the amendments made in the law on
meetings are in essence false and the authorities continue to prevent
the opposition from holding its meetings.
As for the position of outside forces on the internal political
situation in Armenia, the ANC Center coordinator said that the visits
of ANC representatives to various countries and the response of the
press of these countries bear evidence of the fact that the opposition
movement in Armenia has received international recognition.
