YEREVAN.- The present elections once again prove that every election is worse than the previous one in Armenia, Armenian First President and leader of opposition Armenian National Congress Levon Ter-Petrosyan said on Sunday.

“This is not our issue anymore, it is not the issue of Dashnaktsutyun or Prosperous Armenia, now it is the republic’s issue. Why must Armenia be the most neglected country in the world in political, economic, social and education fields? The reason is that the authorities are not being elected by the nation. I feel pain that today the authorities can do everything to maintain power. This is not being done at the expense of us, ARFD or Prosperous Armenia, it is being done on at the expense of the nation,” Levon Ter-Petrosyan announced.

Armenian National Congress (ANC) is an opposition bloc founded in 2008 after presidential elections. During the August 1, 2008, rally in Yerevan the first President of Armenia and ANC leader Levon Ter-Petrosyan announced formation of the bloc. ANC comprises 18 parties and political forces.

ANC proportional list includes 119 names. It has also nominated MP candidates with the majority election system.
