YEREVAN. - A regular rally of the oppositional Armenian National Congress (ANC) kicked off in Liberty Square of Yerevan.

Representatives of political parties, parts of the Congress, are expected to deliver speeches.

One of the key topics during the last rally was violations of human rights in the Armenian army.

In late July ANC and the ruling coalition started talks to discuss key political and economic issues. However, in the end of August ANC announced it suspends its participation in talks conditioning it by a refusal of law enforcers to release several opposition activists allegedly arrested for scuffle with policemen.

The Armenian National Congress is an oppositional union founded in 2008 and headed by first president of Armenia Levon Ter-Petrosyan. Oppositional union comprises 17 political parties.
