The Armenian authorities do not want the residents of Gegharkunik and
Lori to attend the rally of Armenian National Congress (ANC). ArmInfo
correspondents in Lori and Gegharkunik regions of Armenia report that
the work of the inter-city public transport from the towns of Tashir,
Vardenis and Martouni has completely been suspended.
In particular, the minibuses with passengers left Tashir on their way
to Yerevan, however, in Vanadzor the law-enforcers turned them back
and told the passengers to go home. As regards the local authorities
of Vardenis and Martouni, they promptly banned the entry of their
public transport to Yerevan.
To note, according to the current information, a very small number
of transport vehicles is entering Yerevan from the Ararat, Kotayk
and other regions of the republic.
The rally of the Armenian National Congress headed by the first
president of Armenia Levon Ter- Petrosyan will take place in Yerevan
on Tuesday. The rally will start at Liberty Square at 8 pm. During the
rally Levon Ter-Petrosyan is going to give clarifications about the
domestic political situation in the country and tell about the next
steps of the ANC. The emphases will be put on the domestic political
situation, the course of the dialogue and its further development.
To recall, the next meeting within the frames of the dialogue between
the Armenian authorities and the opposition will take place on August
4 at noon. The sides have already held two meetings: on July 16 and
July 26. ANC Leader Levon Ter-Petrosyan was the first to express
willingness to "a formal dialogue with the authorities at the level
of delegations".
The opposition thinks that the dialogue can be held over the issue of
snap parliamentary and presidential elections. On June 17 President
Serzh Sargsyan said that if ANC was willing to continue the dialogue
over the spectrum of important issues of the foreign and domestic
policy, the representatives of the coalitional parties could take
part in it.
The regular parliamentary election in Armenia will be held in May 2012,
and the presidential one - in Feb 2013.
