ArmInfo. The 16th Congress of the Armenian National Movement set off
in Yerevan today.
While opening the meeting, member of the ANM's board Aram Manukyan
made a comprehensive report on the party's past and present.
ArmInfo's correspondent reports that Manukyan's report was followed by
speeches by the leader of the Social Democratic Party Hnchakyan
Lyudmila Sargsyan, Ex Prime Minister of Armenia Hrant Bagratyan, the
leader of the Democratic Fatherland party Petros Makeyan, the
coordinator of the Armenian National Congress Levon Zurabyan and,
finally, the leader of the Hanrapetuyun (Republic) party Aram Sargsyan
and the leader of the People's Party of Armenia Stepan Demirtchyan.
None of them was original: once again they criticized the Government
and said that there are political prisoners in Armenia and that it is
necessary to hold free and fair elections.
In Demirtchyan's opinion, Armenia may lose its chance for normal development.
All of the speakers praised the ANM as a force that played a
consolidating role in the early 1990s and greatly contributed to the
victory in the Nagorno-Karabakh war. Today, it is one of the key
forces constituting the Armenian National Congress.
The leader of the latter Levon Ter-Petrossyan was welcomed with
standing ovation.
During the congress the ANM is to adopt a number of resolutions and to
elect its board.
