Hrant Bagratyan not commenting on ANC’s decision not to back any presidential candidate
Armenian National Congress (ANC) issued today a statement that it “considers it senseless to participate in the elections that have turned into a farce and to support any presidential candidate, which, in the current situation, would only contribute to the legitimization of the illegal regime.”
So, Armenian National Congress in fact refuses to back presidential candidate Hrant Bagratyan, Liberty party leader, former member and supporter of ANC.
Commenting on the reasons of this decision of ANC, Aram Manukyan, board chairman of Armenian National Movement party, refused to give an exact answer and only said, “I can say nothing beyond what has been announced.”
Hrant Bagratyan, for his part, also refused to comment on the statement of ANC when contacted by a Lragir.am reporter. “I did not participate in the adoption of this statement. It is their business.”
