Education official: ANC behaves like neighborhood boss

PanARMENIAN.Net - The stance of the opposition Armenian National Congress (ANC) resembles a “neighborhood boss’s policy”, according to Rector of Yerevan State Institute of Theater and Cinematography Armen Mazmanyan

During a press conference on April 20, he said the Armenian National Movement (ANM) which is the core force of ANC, has ruined Armenia’s heavy industry.

However, Mazmanyan stated, “ANC includes some honest people as well, who are rather at a loss now.”

“I’m state-oriented, but not pro-government. I have believed ANM to be a national disaster, and have always had problems for this,” he said reminding that when in power, ANM jailed a whole party [Dashnaktsutyun], and is not willing to face responsibility for this.

According to Mazmanyan, three parties, namely the ruling Republican Party of Armenia, ARF Dashnaktsutyun and Heritage currently base on the national conservative liberalism.
