"The Armenian National Congress (ANC) will not participate in the October 9 protest rally planned by ARF Dashnaktsutyun and other political forces against signing of the Armenia-Turkey Protocols, ANC Head-office Chairman Levon Zurabyan told NEWS.am.

According to him, ANC has not received an invitation to the rally. However, negotiations with a couple of ANC member-parties were held on the issue. “This fact shows someone wants to split the Opposition rather than to fight against the official policy,” he said.

Established on August 1, 2008, and headed by Armenia’s first president Levon Ter-Petrosyan ANC unites 18 eighteen political forces.
