In Armenian the authorities are fighting against their own people,
said Coordinator of the Armenian National Congress (ANC) Levon Zurabyan
at today’s press-conference.
Commenting on the statement of Leader of National Accord Party Aram
Haroutyunyan that the rating of Nikol Pashinyan (editor of Haykakan
Zhamanak daily convicted for being privy to 1 March 2008 events)
is higher that that of Levon Ter-Petrossyan, the first president of
Armenia, Levon Zurabyan stressed: "Today everybody in the Armenian
National Congress is a soldier – starting from the leader and
finishing with the activist sticking the leaflets". According to the
oppositionist, the situation in the country creates an impression of
a war of the authorities against their own people.
However, despite the existing difficulties, Zurabyan pointed out the
ANC achievement after 1 March 2008 as well, particularly, the release
of most of the political prisoners and the ANC participation in the
election to the Council of Aldermen which confirmed the role of ANC
as the leading oppositional force.
