“The Armenian National Congress Party (ANCP) tried to replace the ANC, but without Nikol; beware of fakes, the real ANC is with Nikol Pashinyan,” Karen Avagyan, a member of the Republican Party of Armenia (RPA) parliamentary group, stated in the National Assembly, describing the ANC Party as a faked trademark. www.aravot.am inquired of Zoya Tadevosyan, an ANC candidate for city council, which one of the ANCs was really fake. “That Young Republican has become a little too excited, because society and the parents of children who were burnt in the square did not demand that he be punished. He burnt thousands of children and remained unpunished. That same money for filling those balloons with gas was an opportunity of kickbacks for them. A moral man who does not answer to the law should answer to his conscience.” As for what the ANC was without Nikol Pashinyan, Ms. Tadevosyan added: “The ANC is the ANC. The ANC is not persons; the ANC is a powerful political movement, ideology. Individuals don’t play a role here; there is only one individual here, Levon Ter-Petrossian, the rest of us are members of that powerful force. Karen Avagyan’s statements are worthless, let them not waste time on making such statements, let them try to find that dirt and the reason for vicious phenomena that exist in our country among themselves, while they rob and completely empty our country.”
