ANC explains protesters’ decrease by “seasonal fluctuations”

Armenian National Congress (ANC) opposition bloc coordinator Levon Zurabyan explained the tendency of decreasing number of protesters by seasonal fluctuations of resource mobilization.

“Apparently resource mobilization in any political situation reaches its maximum in February- April period,” he said.

Zurabyan suggested drawing a parallel between ANC rallies of March 1st 2009, 2010 and 2011 to learn the dynamics of the number of protesters.

Congress coordinator further explained the number of demonstrators by two factors: resource mobilization and specific political situation in the country.

According to Zurabyan, seasonal workers that are ANC supporters and the main mobilization resource, blame current authorities for all their troubles.
