    THE OPPOSITION CHANGES STRATEGY

    The Armenian National Congress has changed the strategy it declared
    about at the last rally. The opposition will not wait until September
    18 and will hold the next rally next week, representative of the
    Armenian National Congress David Shahnazaryan told a press conference
    today.

    The change in programs is connected with the release of the persons
    arrested after the events of March 1 and 2. The day of the meeting
    has not been fixed so far.

    David Shahnazaryan noted today that what happened cannot be called
    amnesty even using the most diplomatic language.

    According to the calculations of the opposition, the general pardon
    will not apply to 20 persons deprived of their liberty in relation
    to the events of 1 and 2 March 2008. The play titled "amnesty"
    was staged for PACE, Shahnazaryan said, noting that the objective
    has been achieved. "No sanctions will be applied against Armenia,
    but the country will remain under monitoring," he noted.

    As for the cooperation on the opposition field, particularly the
    negotiations on the 12-point platform, Shahnazaryan said there was
    no progress in that regard. The Armenian National Congress has always
    cooperated with the "Heritage," while the issue of ARF Dashnaktsutyun
    is quite different, he noted.

    "What does cooperation mean? How many times c an we repeat that
    Dashnaktsutyun is not opposition? It's very simple. If they
    struggle against the current regime, there will naturally be some
    cooperation. What cooperation can we speak about if they show no
    signs of struggle?" Shahnazaryan said.
