Political expert says Republic party’s withdrawal from ANC insignificant![]() May 23, 2012 - 14:30 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Political expert Alexander Iskandaryan believes the withdrawal of Republic party from Armenian National Congress (ANC) opposition bloc to be an insignificant event. As the expert told a news conference, the split up inside ANC may continue, with enough conflicts brewing in the bloc even before the parliamentary poll. “However, those conflicts won’t affect the further political role of the Congress, with ANC leader Levon Ter-Petrossian acting as a binding agent. ANC isn’t monolithic, however, only the withdrawal of Ter-Petrossian, rather than separate parties, may mean the end of the bloc,” the expert concluded. ![]() ![]() Grigoryan added that the situation around the world and particularly in the region is very difficult. The Armenian Defense Ministry has denied Azerbaijan's accusations of violating the ceasefire. Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan took to social media to thank his Lithuanian counterpart for the contribution.
