YEREVAN. – Today the opposition bloc Armenian National Congress (ANC) is the political force with the highest rating among the public, ANC Spokesperson Arman Musinyan said during a press conference on Monday.

Musinyan also said: “Even if we were to have only one MP but very free and fair [parliamentary] elections are conducted, we would consider that as the society’s evaluation of ours and other political forces’ activities. The most important for us is the holding of free and fair elections in Armenia.”   

And in his words, there is but one main obstacle standing in the way of free and fair elections: the ruling regime led by President Serzh Sargsyan and the ruling coalition’s Republican Party of Armenia. 

Arman Musinyan is confident that if free and fair elections were to be conducted, ANC would have a significant presence in the parliament.  

And in response to the query as to whether ANC could resign from the parliamentary seats under some conditions, he said everything is possible. 

The reporters also asked about ANC’s PM candidate, should it come to power, and Arman Musinyan responded: “If the [current] regime’s back is able to be broken, [the matter as to] who would be Armenia’s PM is rather secondary.”
