Armenak Dovlatyan about not abiding by the decision of the ANC
Armenak Dovlatyan, a member of the ANC and the leader of the Green Party of Armenia, made a decision after long discussions inside the party to support Hrant Bagratyan. Today www.aravot.am inquired of him how he would comment on the fact that considering the ANC statement, it turned out that he hadn’t abided by the ANC decision, being a member of the ANC. He replied: “Not that I didn’t abide, it is a general decision of the ANC. The ANC doesn’t participate, and this is a separate decision of our party. The ANC is a general institution, where everyone is free to take their positions.”
Let us remind that the Congress had decided not to participate in the presidential election and not support any candidate.
He assured that he and any party, including those that were members of the ANC, had a right to take separate positions.
