Armenian National Congress Candidate Campaigns on Reform Platform

Levon Zurabyan, the Armenian National Congress (ANC) prime ministerial candidate, called for significant political change while voting in Armenia's parliamentary elections. Zurabyan told reporters that his party aims to transform Armenia from what he characterized as "mad Armenia" to "reasonable Armenia," advocating for a future where the country becomes a technology hub attracting international investment rather than serving as a geopolitical battleground.

He outlined a vision focused on economic development and poverty reduction. Zurabyan also criticized the government over arrests made on election day, describing them as violations of democratic principles and human rights. He warned against what he called an authoritarian direction, stating that citizens must prevent dictatorship from taking hold. The parliamentary elections determine the composition of Armenia's National Assembly, with multiple parties and alliances competing for seats.
