YEREVAN. – Opposition Armenian National Congress (ANC) leader, Armenia's First President Levon Ter-Petrosyan’s statements in  

 the recent year and a half have shown the obvious softening of the ANC position and its strong remoteness from the initial radical-opposition intentions, opposition Heritage Party member Stepan Safaryan told Armenian News-NEWS.am. According to him, the ANC faces serious controversies on its political course, however, dispositions of this bloc is dictated by its leader, who obviously has softened his approaches.

This is also based on the possible cooperation between the ANC and the Prosperous Armenia Party (PAP), which brings forward dissatisfaction of a group of politicians, involved in the bloc.

In response to possible cooperation between the ANC and Heritage, Safaryan said that it mostly depends on the ANC.

“If it does not review its policy in fall, it will cease being a significant factor in Armenia’s political arena. However, I do not foresee the ANC’s actual collapse yet,” Safaryan added.
