The Armenian National Congress (ANC) has revised its previous
strategy, but it is not going to negotiate with the authorities,
ANC representative, ex-Mayor of Yerevan Vahagn Khachatryan told a
press conference today.

"The situation in Armenia changed after the session of the
Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe, and it made the ANC
change its strategy," Vahagn Khachatryan stated.

"When Levon Ter-Petrosyan and the Armenian National congress declared
that the next rally would take place on September 18, many thought
we were taking a leave. Life showed that it was not necessary to
wait until September 18. The summer is going to be hot with regard
to political developments. We’ll have an opportunity to live a quiet
life only when we have normal authorities, which will act logically,"
he said.

Vahagn Khachatryan insists that the decision not to wait until
September has nothing to do with the events in neighboring Iran.
