Armenian National Congress (ANC) will not participate in a Thursday
conference called by Prosperous Armenia Party (PAP), however the major
oppositional party says its absence from the meeting does not mean
it has philosophical differences or problems with the direction of PAP.
In late December PAP headGagik Tsarukyan called for the conference
to discuss current political and economic situations in the country.
Tsarukyan spokesperson Iveta Tonoyan on Wednesday told ArmeniaNow
that more than a dozen non-political forces, NGOs, civil initiatives,
political analysts, and economists are invited.
Still in December ANC spokesperson, Arman Musinyan said Tsarukyan
and the PAP, besides the oppositional troika, are holding a series
of consultations with representatives of other political forces,
NGOs and civil initiatives, and the conference is another such event.
"What refers to our participation, we cooperate with the PAP and hold
consultations in bilateral and troika formats," Musinyan said, and
this was once again confirmed by ANC member LevonZurabyan on Wednesday.
The third member of the oppositional "troika", Heritage, will
be represented at the conference by party deputy president
ArmenMartirosyanand faction head Ruben Hakobyan.
"I cannot specify our expectations, but we will go to introduce
our approach, how we see solutions of problems in this situation,"
Martirosyan said.
In response to ArmeniaNow's question whether the conference will
activate opposition actions, Martirosyan said that it is a stage of
internal discussions in opposition, but he thinks that soon it will
be time to start public protests.
