ANC REP: WELL-KNOWN POLITICIANS MUST BOTTOM ANC CANDIDATES LIST
- A representative of the Armenian National Congress (ANC) opposition bloc, Democratic Fatherland party leader urged to use the experience of "Impeachment" electoral bloc, advising to position well-known politicians in the bottom of ANC candidates list.
According to Petros Makeyan, the approach is meant to demonstrate that ANC is not vying for parliamentary seats, but rather seeks to restore constitutional order in the country, by returning power to the people.
The politician, however, predicted serious problems in formation of candidates list for the 18-party electoral bloc.
