YEREVAN.- Opposition Armenian National Congress (ANC) was promised 17 seats in the parliament, leader of People’s Party Tigran Karapetyan told journalists on Friday.

“It is natural as the Congress includes 18 parties, so the heads of these parties will get the seats. At the moment the ANC continues insistent and unpredictable struggle. Each move and word is weighed,” he said.

Karapetyan stressed that his party will run for the parliamentary seats on its own without joining any coalitions. “We must be an alternative to those who do not accept incumbent President Sargsyan and oppose ex-President Levon Ter-Petrosyan,” he added.

In general, Karapetyan said that he considers the current Armenian authorities are rude and unfair. The success of the struggle against the authorities Karapetyan sees in the union of opposition forces.

“The opposition must unite to proclaim the Liberty Square area of ​​consolidation and fight against the regime in the name of the people,” he concluded.

People’s Party is headed by Tigran Karapetyan, owner of the ALM media holding. The party is not represented in the parliament. Tigran Karapetyan is a 2008 presidential candidate. His ALM TV was denied a broadcasting license last December and went off the air in January.
