    WILL REMAIN IN LOVE

    "Analyzing the present situation and having the objective to liven the
    social-political activeness in September, the center of the movement
    considers it very important not to stop holding massive events, sit in
    and hunger strikes, as well as realize the idea of Armenian National
    Congress," Ter-Petrosyan announced during the demonstration yesterday.

    In his 50 minutes' speech, for 48 minutes Ter-Petrosyan repeated
    the ideas heard during his previous speeches and only at the last
    2 minutes he touched upon the congress: "You will eyewitness a
    significant historic event - the ceremony of the establishment of
    Armenian National Congress.

    Later he read the declaration agreed with 16 parties and public
    organizations, which are going to join Armenian National Congress:
    "...taking into account the fact that during the post -election period
    the Republic of Armenia is facing serious challenges, well-conscious
    that there is a necessity to confront these challenges the political
    parties which are the core of the movement declare about the formation
    of the Armenian National Congress.

    According to the leader of the neo-Bolsheviks the political parties
    and the public organizations, which make up part of the congress have
    the right to independence and to run for the elections separately. The
    congress is open for=2 0the parties and public organizations both in
    Armenia and Diaspora. We appeal to all the forces, organizations and
    citizens concerned about the fortune of their motherland to become
    members of the congress.

    "Azatutyun" party, "Aylntrank" social-political organization, "People's
    Path" party, "Democratic Motherland" party, People's Party of Armenia,
    Marxists, Armenian Pan National Movement, "Motherland and Honor",
    "Hanrapetutyun" party, People's Rights - 96, Conservative Party,
    and Social Democratic Hnchakyan party signed the memorandum of
    Armenian National Congress. In general all in all 16 parties and
    public organizations, instead of the promised 25 or 27.

    To save the situation, they announced that later, parliamentary
    opposition "Heritage" party, Armenian Communists' Party and "Nor
    Jamanakner" would join the congress.

    Below some political figures express their standpoints regarding the
    prospects of Armenian National Congress.

    Vardan Khachatryan

    "Heritage"

    "The only thing that I can say is that the deceleration is in the
    process of discussion. And it is very difficult to predict the
    continuation of this process. The contents of the declaration heard
    during the meeting have not been agreed with our party. Most probably
    in future "Heritage" party will touch upon this issue.

    Ruben Tovmasyan

    Armeni an Communists' party

    "The party has not discussed similar declaration. Communists' Party
    has a clear stance regarding similar issues and is guided by concrete
    position, which will never be agreed with any other party. No one
    has the right to make announcements on behalf of the party.

    Shavarsh Kocharyan

    National Democratic Party

    The fact that very few parties sign the declaration on the formation
    of the National Congress testifies to the fact "against" ideology
    never works.

    Let's expect that the congress will at least declare about their
    goal. But I don't think that this will work. The little number of
    the people in the demonstration shows their estimation, which is very
    important in such issues.

    Arshak Sadoyan

    National Democratic Union

    "The National Congress doesn't intend to take power, it has other
    political goals. The 16 political parties and the public organizations
    that have become members of the congress will very soon understand that
    only Armenian Pan National Movement will remain in the congress. What
    they really want is to return to the political domain with a new
    name. They expect success in 2012.

    Armen Ashotyan

    Republican Party

    "Those pro-oppositional forces that have joined Levon Ter-Petrosyan
    are mostly guided by the outer effect. There are no values. Similar
    course of action can't be a success and it is ver y characteristic
    to sects. They often announce that the end of the world has come,
    and later they have to explain why their predictions didn't come true.

    Still on May 2 they announced about forming Armenian National
    Congress. But by now this idea didn't get an institutional shape. Even
    the parties that support Levon Ter-Petrsoyan avoid becoming members of
    the congress - a strange political project. Therefore the initiators
    of the congress had to change the contents of the deceleration. As
    a result it turned into a format, which simply recorded the list of
    the forces supporting Levon Ter-Petrosyan.

    They failed to realize the idea of establishing a powerful liberal
    political force. Their biggest failure will be the refusal of
    "Heritage" Party to become members of the congress. It reminds of the
    situation when a couple makes a decision to get married, but on the
    day of the marriage they announce that they don't want to get married,
    instead they prefer to remain in love."
