A member of ruling Republican Party of Armenia (RPA) urged the Armenian National Congress (ANC) opposition bloc to consider resumption of a dialogue with the authorities and prepare for regular election.
At news conference in Yerevan, Rafik Petrosyan characterized regular elections as the only legitimate way towards a change of power, noting that there’s no alternative to resumption of coalition-opposition dialogue.
“ANC’s expectations for resignation of the authorities or snap elections are futile, there being no premises for that to happen,” the politician said.
At Sept 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 Oct 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 Oct 28, with the Congress to decide on their further steps.
