YEREVAN. – During Friday’s session of the opposition Armenian National Congress Party (ANCP) Board, ANCP Chairman, First President Levon Ter-Petrosyan proposed that party membership fee be set at 400 drams (approx. $0.96 ), 168 Zham daily reports.  

“But the party members were able to get a 25-percent discount, and as a result it was decided that every ANCP member will have to pay 300 drams [approx. $0.72] each month. If we consider that ANCP has 2,000 members, this amounts to 600,000 [approx. $1,440] drams per month.

The party members say their party is a member of the Liberal Reformist Party of Europe, and this amount will solely cover the membership fee to this party.    

But the party will not need more money because Ter-Petrosyan made it clear in his speech that they need to wait until the next elections to make a power change in Armenia. And you do not need much money for inaction,” 168 Zham writes.
