ANC heads for cooperation with authorities, Armenian expert says June 9, 2011 - 12:49 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Opposition Armenian National Congress (ANC) heads for “cooperating and merging with the authorities,” according to the head of Armenian Political Experts Union. “At the same time, to retain its radical supporters, ANC keeps bringing up snap elections,” Hamayak Hovhannisyan told a news conference in Armenia. As he noted, ANC deliberately helped put an end to the political crisis in Armenia, where severe social and economic crisis came to reign instead. According to Hovhannisyan, ANC plans turning itself from anti-system revolutionary opposition into a pro-system constitutional one. Since February rallies, the expert noted, ANC leader Levon Ter-Petrossian’s statements were directed against radical part of ANC and a possible third force, rather than current President Serzh Sargsyan. “This line of actions allows ANC to retain the radical opposition’s support to prevent the authorities from conning it out of their agreement,” Hovhannisyan said.
