The announcement of Armenian National Congress leader Levon Ter-Petrosyan is not to be trusted because even after the announcement by Ter-Petrosyan, the media supporting ANC conducted vast attack against Heritage, the head of Heritage parliamentary group Stepan Safaryan told Armenian News-NEWS.am, commenting on the announcement of Ter-Petrosyan that the criticism target of ANC will be only ruling Republican Party.

According to Safaryan, either ANC’s official disposition does not correspond to that of Levon Ter-Petrosyan or they say one thing and do the contrary.

“This behavior proves the demand of Heritage that only the leaders of the parties should sign the agreement of the joint pre-election coordinating headquarters,” Stepan Safaryan said.
