YEREVAN. – The opposition bloc Armenian National Congress (ANC) stands ready to collaborate with all parliamentary political forces to achieve its main objective: the resignation of President Serzh Sargsyan, opposition Armenian National Movement Party Board Chairman and ANC National Congress’ National Assembly Faction Secretary Aram Manukyan said during a press conference on Monday.

In his words, the ANC is prepared to work together with those that wish to see Sargsyan leave office.

To the remark that, aside from the political forces Manukyan already pointed to, there is also the coalition government’s junior partner Orinats Yerkir (Rule of Law) Party, the opposition MP noted with sarcasm that he is afraid to mention the name of that party. “Orinats Yerkir is the disgrace of Armenia’s politics,” he stated. 

Also, Aram Manukyan noted that unless Armenia’s political forces unite, the country will find itself in an inextricable situation. He added that we should not be surprised that there are those in the ruling Republican Party who will join the opposition.
