April 30, 2013 - 22:24 AMT
PanARMENIAN.Net - Armenian National Congress (ANC) party held its
first rally in Yerevan's Liberty Square on Tuesday, April 30, with ANC
leader Levon Ter-Petrossian and candidates running for Yerevan City
Council elections participating.
At the rally, an ANC candidate for Yerevan City Council Vladimir
Karapetyan expressed confidence that the ruling Republican Party of
Armenia won't gain enough votes at the elections. He further slammed
RPA candidate Taron Margaryan for avoiding debates and interaction
with media.
Despite the rally being dedicated to the oncoming elections into
Yerevan City Council, Ter-Petrossian opened his speech by summing up
the results of recent events. ANC leader slammed the February 18
presidential poll as rigged, criticizing the international community
and observers for turning a blind eye to electoral violations.
Ter-Petrossian further characterized the City Council elections as the
'most important political issue,' however, noting that opposition
forces failed to unite ahead of polls.
As stressed, during electoral campaign, ANC will adhere to 3 main
principles: the party will only criticize RPA and Orinats Yerkir
coalition, it won't promote negative propaganda of other opposition
forces and it won't hinder formation of an opposition bloc inside the
City Council following the elections.
In conclusion, he urged opposition forces and social organizations to cooperate.
