At its republican rally the opposition Armenian National Congress (ANC) will publish a comprehensive program of action, which will influence Armenia’s political life throughout the year 2010, ANC Chairman Levon Ter-Petrosyan stated at a rally in support of a parliamentary candidate in the by-elections in Election District #10.

According to him, the Armenian Opposition has gained “real, rather than moral” victories as a result of its struggle for over two years. “The most significant victory is that, despite repressions and shooting on March 1, 2008, the people continue their united struggle for their rights. The people that continue struggle this country’s wealth, and if this country has something to be proud of, it is the people,” Ter-Petrosyan said, addressing his supporters.

The ANC leader appreciates the steps taken by Chairman of the Armenian Union of Political Scientists Hamayak Hovhannisyan and the Political Council member, Republic Party, Suren Surenyants, who refused to run for Parliament in favor of Nikol Pashinyan. Ter-Petrosyan expressed the confidence that the pro-government political figures would never do that.
