ARMENIAN OPPOSITION INSISTS ON PRESIDENT'S RESIGNATION, NEW ELECTIONS

The Armenian opposition insists on President Serzh Sargsyan's
resignation and the holding of new presidential elections, Ruzanna
Khachatrian, a member of the board of the opposition People's Party,
said at a press conference on Thursday.

"We intend to secure the Armenian president's resignation and the
holding of new elections. The newly-established Armenian National
Congress is working on a daily basis. In particular, we will continue
pickets, protests, press conferences and other events until the next
opposition rally on September 5," Khachatrian said.

The Armenian National Congress' activities worry the authorities,
Khachatrian said. "Our Congress worries the authorities because they
understand that this organization is capable of engaging larger masses
for this struggle," she said.

The establishment of the Armenian National Congress was proclaimed at
an opposition rally on August 1. It comprises 16 parties supporting
opposition leader Levon Ter-Petrosian.
