    ARMENIAN NATIONAL CONGRESS VIABLE, REP SAYS

    The opposition bloc Armenian National Congress (ANC) is living and
    working, Zoya Tadevosyan, the Head of the People's Power civil and
    political initiative and ANC member, told Tert.am.

    "Moreover, it is the pro-government camp that often claims that the
    ANC is not viable any more. It is a provocation," she said.

    In his press interview, ANC Chairman Levon Ter-Petrosyan wished
    success to everyone, saying, "I want them to pass from words to deeds."

    With respect to the ANC leader's further activities and influence
    on Armenia's domestic political arena, Ms Tadevosyan said: "Levon
    Ter-Petrosyan's name alone is itself influential."

    Asked about the ANC's activities after the February 18 presidential
    election in Armenia, Ms Tadevosyan said, "we have to wait and see."

    On the other hand, the ANC will organize protests and rallies.

    "Because it is impossible to tolerate these authorities or this
    situation. However, the most expressive popular distrust will be
    voters remaining at their homes and not participating in the voting,"
    Ms Tadevosyan said. In this case, the authorities will not be able
    to rig elections by abusing the opposition electorate's votes.

    "By not participating in the voting we show our distrust of the
    authorities," she said. Silence during the elections will show the
    people have rejected the authorities.

    Ms Tadevosyan believes that some political forces will show
    post-election activity against their pre-election passivity. The
    forces in question fell away from the ANC in different periods.

    Ms Tadevodyan neither refuted nor confirmed the report that the ANC
    has a project of transforming into a party. "We have not discussed
    this issue." As regards such a possibility, she said, "Why not."
