16:32 / 11/20/2009In his speech Levon Ter-Petrosyan offered the
Armenian authorities to unite with the Armenian National Congress (ANC)
in opposing the nationalist forces of Armenia, Ara Nranyan, member
of the Armenian Revolutionary Federation (ARF), told a press briefing.

According to him, one of the outstanding ANC members confessed recently
that the ANC has no disagreements with the Armenian authorities except
for the problem of "political prisoners." "This all is evidence that
the ANC and the Armenian authorities hold identical positions on such
fundamental issues as Armenian-Turkish relations and Nagorno-Karabakh
problem," Nranyan said.

In his speech, Ter-Petrosyan was severely critical of the nationalist
political forces, calling them "hysterical." He tried to defend
President Serzh Sargsyan, laying the whole responsibility for the
present situation on Armenia’s second President Robert Kocharyan.
