ArmInfo. "Levon Ter-Petrosyan has recently made a proposal to create
Armenian National Congress, and this issue is currently being
discussed", Karen Karapetyan, a member of Board of the Armenian
Pan-National Movement (APNM), said to ArmInfo correspondent.
Speaking of the APNM’s present activity, Karapetyan said that by
arresting the leadership of the party, the authorities made an attempt
to paralyze its activity. "However, they failed as the APNM continued
the fight. The arrests by no means weakened the Armenian Pan-National
Movement, and the ruling regime once again demonstrated its inability
to gain its goals", he said.
Asked whether a certain recession is observed in the oppositional
movement after the known events, the oppositionist stressed that
despite the authorities’ efforts to restrict the rights and freedoms of
citizens at any price, even by means of legislative amendments, "no
tendency for weakening of the Nationwide movement is observed. On the
contrary, there is enthusiasm, aspiration and resoluteness to keep on
fighting up to the victorious end".
