PanARMENIAN.Net - Armenian National Congress (ANC) opposition bloc is
the one to benefit most from opposition-coalition dialogue, according
to the leader of Armenian Christian Democratic Union (ACDU).
As Khosrov Harutyunyan told a news conference in Yerevan, ANC actions
are aimed at other opposition forces, rather than the authorities,
with the Congress trying to prove itself the only opposition power
in Armenia.
As Harutyunyan added, despite recent rhetoric and demands for snap
elections, ANC prepares itself for regular elections, meaning to get
there with the least losses. "There's already been a tendency for
decrease of ANC supporters, with the dialogue as the only way for
the Congress to preserve its face, authority and supporters."
ACDU leader takes current non-stop ANC rallies in their stride. As he
noted, every political force must have a chance at a struggle. Yet,
he said, the society, too, must be interested in a dialogue, which
might create a new image of the opposition, which, instead of slamming
the authorities, makes constructive suggestions to influence current
political developments.
At Sept 30 rally, Armenian National Congress (ANC) opposition bloc
leader Levon Ter-Petrossian announced 7-day-long round-the-clock
protest actions, with supporters putting up tents at Liberty Square.
"Whether to continue actions will be decided in a week," ANC leader
noted.
