ANC Was Not Provided with a Hall To Hold Its Meeting in Gyumri

A meeting planned on March 27 between the Armenian National Congress (ANC) central office and its regional office in Gyumri will not take place, at least not for the moment. The reason is that the individuals in charge of securing the two main halls in Gyumri where the meeting would take place, “under pressure from the authorities, declined to secure the halls without any serious reason,” according to a release issued by the ANC.

“The local ANC office in Gyumri strongly condemns the authorities’ disreputable and short-sighted policy of pressure and persecution. Despite various fraudulent activities by the authorities, the ANC is resolute and will fight till the victorious end,” reads the release.

The meeting in Gyumri was set to discuss issues relating both to foreign challenges and domestic socioeconomic issues caused particularly by the recent increase in gas and petrol prices.
