PanARMENIAN.Net – Expectations of some forces to have a sizzling
political season in Armenia have failed to some extent, according to
independent member of parliament Vardan Khachatryan.
“The autumn for Armenia will be latent but tense,” he told a press
conference in Yerevan.
For his part, member of the ruling Republican Party of Armenia (RPA),
Hovhannes Sahakyan, noted that Armenian political life has taken its
natural course. “Even the opposition Armenian National Congress has
admitted the idea of regular elections,” he said.
At September 30 rally, ANC leader Levon Ter-Petrossian announced
7-day-long round-the-clock protest actions with supporters putting
up tents at Liberty Square. On October 8, the Congress terminated
non-stop rallies, announcing immediate resignation of President Serzh
Sargsyan as the main point of the resolution adopted.
Next ANC rally is scheduled for October 28, with the Congress to
decide on their further steps.
