The opposition Armenian National Congress (ANC) will welcome the Prosperous Armenia party's (PAP) success in the upcoming parliamentary election, says Lyudmila Sargsyan, the leader of the Social Democrat Liberal Party (a political force represented in ANC), Tert.am reported.
"If the PAP manages to gain a majority of votes as a result of fair and transparent polls, the ANC will only hail that because our goal is to make the people's voice heard," she told Tert.am, addressing Armenia's former prime minister, Hrant Bagratyan's recent interview to the local daily 168 Zham.
Speaking to the paper, Bagratyan, now an activist of the opposition alliance, made his forecasts on post-electoral developments, considering PAP's possible protest against electoral frauds and its joining the oppositionists on Liberty Square the most likely scenario.
"Given that we predict electoral frauds, PAP will propose a straight ticket, leading a fierce struggle to protect its votes. But the regime will work against the PAP, as it does against the ANC. So Prosperous Armenia will have no choice but to head towards Liberty Square to fight against electoral frauds," the politician said, commenting on Bagratyan's remarks.
