YEREVAN. - Oppositional Armenian National Congress (ANC) rejects any
dialogue with authorities and starts velvet revolution, ANC coordinator
Levon Zurabyan stated on Friday.
"Our October permanent rallies that lasted for eight days ended the
process, when authorities start to take steps towards strengthening
democratic values under the pressure of the nation. Now time has
come, when authorities run out of all the administrative resources,
release dissidents and demonstrate democratic initiatives. A smooth
transition to democracy is most beneficial for a society that
chooses a new government without blood and for the government as
well, which leaves politics with dignity. We have to try it. Besides,
authorities offered to discuss the issue of snap elections. However,
we have to accept that the ruling regime failed all the attempts of
democratic dialogue," Zurabyan said.
ANC launches 'velvet revolution' and the goal is the mobilization of
the nation. ANC will demand unconditional resignation of the incumbent
President Serzh Sargsyan, the coordinator added.
