Armenian National Congress (ANC) opposition bloc issued a statement on the decision of RA Ministry of Justice to register the new Social-Democratic Hnchakyan Party, dubbing it illegitimate.

ANC deems this already second case reported in recent days when authorities chase parties that are members of the Congress, citing the decision to deprive Democratic Fatherland party of its office, according to ANC press service.

“ANC demands immediate suspension of legal willfulness regarding Social-Democratic Hnchakyan and Democratic Fatherland parties,” ANC statement reads.
