Oppositional Armenian National Congress (ANC) celebrated Independence
Day in the pouring rain.

Within recent years ANC celebrated it in prestigious halls, though
this year all the halls were closed for them, one of the opposition
representatives told NEWS.am.

First President Levon Ter-Petrosyan arrived to Saryan monument at 7:00
p.m. in the pouring rain, though it did not prevent the oppositionists
from chanting "Levon-President" and "Free, Independent Armenia." Due to
the rain Levon Ter-Petrosyan did not deliver a speech, congratulating
the participants he asked them to disperse.
