ANC declares its readiiness to join forces with "Strong Armenia" and  other political forces

ArmInfo. The Armenian National Congress (ANC) is ready to consolidate with the "Strong Armenia" party and other political forces,  s бtated by Levon Zurabyan, the Armenian National Congress (ANC) candidate for Prime  Minister, speaking at the party's 5th Congress.

Zurabyan read out the party's draft resolution, which includes seven  key points, emphasizing that their implementation is only possible  through consolidation with rational and truly active political forces  in the country.

1. Infrastructure as peace: According to Zurabyan, Armenia must  overcome its status as a landlocked country with unfavorable economic  conditions, becoming a strategic transit hub between West and East,  North and South. "The implementation of our proposed TRIPP+BRICS  project will not only establish sustainable peace but also ensure  accelerated socioeconomic development in Armenia," the politician  noted.

2. Strategic sovereignty: Zurabyan emphasized that the key issues  today remain the security of citizens, the preservation of the state  and national identity, the protection and development of  centuries-old cultural values, and the assurance of sovereignty,  territorial integrity, and the inviolability of borders. According to  him, these objectives should be a foreign policy priority.  The  deputy head of the ANC also noted the need to protect the collective  right of Artsakh Armenians to return to their historical homeland.  Given that such a return is impossible under the sovereignty of  authoritarian Azerbaijan, the state must now focus on protecting the  property and other rights of the residents of Artsakh through  international courts and facilitating their socioeconomic  integration.

3. The "Neutral Bridge" policy:  Zurabyan stated that Armenia should  not take sides in the global confrontation between West and East,  becoming anyone's satellite. "The only path to survival is the  development of mutually beneficial cooperation in all areas.  Maintaining neutrality in the confrontation between the West and  Russia, positioning Armenia as a bridge of cooperation for all  interested parties," he emphasized. The politician added that the  country can simultaneously build trusting relationships with Russia,  the United States, Europe, Iran, India, and China, provided it has a  truly independent foreign policy.  This will allow it to more  effectively resolve existing issues with Azerbaijan and Turkey from a  stronger position.

4. Technological leap:  Zurabyan noted the need for large-scale  public investment in the high-tech sector, highlighting key areas:  artificial intelligence, biotechnology, alternative energy, organic  and ecological agriculture, fintech, and the crypto industry.

5. Inclusive economics: To foster free and fair competition and  cooperation, build an inclusive economy that will not provide  benefits to those close to power or create obstacles for political  opponents, and eliminate monopolies.

6. Constitutional reform: To restore the semi-presidential  constitutional model of governance and eliminate the possibility of  changes to this system. "This is necessary for effective security  protection," he emphasized.

7. Democratic strengthening: To strengthen democracy and ensure  social consolidation, release political prisoners, and guarantee all  public freedoms.

Recall, the next parliamentary elections in Armenia will be held on  June 7, 2026.
