    The Armenian National Congress (ANC) has started a series of protests
    which will last until February 17, demanding resignations of President
    Serzh Sargsyan and formation of a mechanism for fair parliamentary
    polls, News Armenia reports.

    The congress passed an electoral platform with description of fair and
    clear elections. One of the main demands is a proportional electoral
    system for parliament. It is also discussed by two parliamentary
    forces.

    The Heritage Fraction of parliament and the Armenian Revolutionary
    Federation Dashnaktsutyun filed a letter with legislative changes
    to switch from the majority electoral system to the proportional one
    on Thursday.

    The Armenian National Congress was formed on August 1, 2008. It
    consists of less than 20 political parties and organizations. It
    main demands are off-year parliamentary and presidential polls. The
    Armenian ruling coalition consists of the Republican Party, Prosperous
    Armenia and Orinats Yerkir.
