YEREVAN. - By means of criticizing the Heritage party, the Armenian National Congress (ANC) is seeking to create favorable conditions for its participation in the forthcoming parliamentary elections, a member of Republican Party of Armenia (RPA) parliamentary group Hakob Hakobyan told journalists on Saturday.

On the threshold of the 2012 elections, each political party is seeking more favorable conditions for participating in the elections. Another RPA MP Tachat Vardapetyan said that the ANC’s attacks on the Heritage party and its leader Raffi Hovhannisyan are “unfair and dishonest.”

He believes that a third force may be formed on popular demand and initiative. Vardapetyan also disagrees with the opinion that the ANC is the only opposition force in Armenia.
