    ARMENIA'S RULING PARTIES UNDER NO ILLUSIONS

    Armenia's ruling parties do not expect much from the rally the Armenian
    National Congress (ANC) is holding today.

    Talking to NEWS.am, Hovhannes Sahakyan of the Republican Party of
    Armenia (RPA) stated that nothing will politically change in Armenia
    after the rally, as no preconditions are available in the country.

    "The Armenian authorities are implementing a balanced foreign and
    domestic policy and are ready to cooperate with all the political
    forces. So, except for spring, no other prerequisites for the
    Opposition are available," Sahakyan said.

    Aram Safaryan, Secretary of the Prosperous Armenia Party (PPA),
    shares this opinion. He has no expectations from the rally.

    The parliamentary Opposition, too, shares the ruling parties' opinion.

    Ruzan Arakelyan, a member of the Armenian Revolutionary Federation
    (Dashnaktsutyun), said that the rallies in the country will not
    influence the situation in the country, as it does not depend on
    rallies or other mass actions.

    Stepan Sasfaryan, Head of the Heritage faction, said that "everything
    depends on what they are going to present at the rally. If it is
    their 100-step economic program, as they promised, it will have
    no political consequences. If they speak of a change of power and
    present any effective steps, it may stir up the opposition electorate,"
    Safaryan said.

    The ANC is holding a rally in Yerevan at 5:00 p.m.
