ANC unveils “No vote for criminal regime” slogan March 30, 2012 - 20:34 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Armenian National Congress (ANC) opposition bloc will run for elections with “No single vote for the criminal regime” slogan, ANC leader Levon Ter-Petrossian said during the rally on March 30. In his speech he briefed the demonstrators on the key provisions of ANC election program, as well as the social economic breakdown the country currently faces. “If the public starts selling votes for AMD 5000, it will become accomplice in the collapse of the own country,” ANC leader said, voicing readiness to struggle for implementation of his election program in case the bloc wins the parliamentary race. Ter-Petrossian noted that otherwise ANC will vote against all the bills, in case its remarks and proposals are ignored. After completion of Ter-Petrossian’s speech, ANC member Aram Manukyan told the demonstrators that date of the next rally will be announced later. Afterwards, rally participants traditionally marched to central streets of Yerevan.
