YEREVAN, OCTOBER 22, NOYAN TAPAN. By stopping holding rallies for
a month of two the Armenian National Congress (ANC) will use other
methods of political struggle, as well as will solve organization
issues. ANC Coordinator Levon Zurabian stated at the October 22 press
conference. He reaffirmed first President Levon Ter-Petrosian’s October
17 statement, according to which the main reason of temporarily
giving up rallies is not to hinder President Serzh Sargsyan in
the issue of Nagorno Karabakh settlement for the sake of Armenia’s
state interests. L. Zurabian emphasized that opposition supporters
have understood that argumentation and consider delaying rallies for
nearly two months a wise step. And the rally to be organized after the
interval, as L. Zurabian foretold, will be stronger and more crowded.

Touching upon Russian President Dmitry Medvedev’s visit to Armenia,
the oppositionist said that it should be considered in the context
of West-Russia struggle carried out for Armenia.
