  • LTP suggests transforming Movement into Armenian National Congress

    First president of Armenia Levon Ter-Petrossyan suggests transforming
    Nationwide Movement he leads into Armenian National Congress

    ArmInfo. During the Second Congress of his supporters at the session
    hall of the Armenian government, Friday, Levon Ter-Petrossyan, the
    first president of Armenia, the leader of the opposition, suggested
    transforming the Nationwide Movement he leads into Armenian National
    Congress.

    According to him, having been formed before the presidential election
    for quite specific purposes, now the Nationwide Movement should acquire
    new content. The synthesis of public intolerance against the present
    regime will become the cornerstone of this movement, he said. "Today we
    hold our second congress, and we like this word. Moreover, taking into
    account the international experience of national-democratic liberation
    movements, I suggest transforming our Nationwide Movement into Armenian
    National Congress. At the same time, I want to stress that this is just
    a suggestion which needs further discussion during the next meetings",
    Ter-Petrossyan said.

    Ter-Petrossyan noted that for the time being they were planning to
    preserve the structure of the national movement formed in Dec 2007. At
    the initial stage, the future Armenian National Congress will not merge
    the parties constituting the national movement. They will continue to
    be independent political forces. But later the congress may transform
    into a centralized structure and even a shadow government. "I am sure
    that, based on the people's support, our movement will play the key
    role in the political life of the country," Ter-Petrossyan said.
