ArmInfo. Levon Zourabyan, the Head of  Armenian National Congress Faction,  during his today's  speech due to modifications of the Law on Parties, expressed his discontent with the critics of  Vice Speaker Hermine Naghdalyan, addressed to the Armenian National party, from which the ANC   later had  been capsulated. 

Particularly, Zourabyan reminded Naghdalyan about her past,  accentuating, that the right to criticize former authorities  and the  First president Levon ter-Petrosyan could belong to  anybody except   her. "You, Madam Naghdalyam, were  our truly adept, you supported our  activities, you  were admired with us and our leader levon Ter  Petrosyan, and You were even included in our proportional list. And  after all this your statements aboput incapable persons appointed in  times of ANP are at least immoral," Zourabyan stated.  He accentuated  that nobody from Republican Party has no right to criticize former  authorities, because many of republicans were ANP members or friends,  and the founder of ZRepublican Party Ashot Navasardyan has even  stated that there is no better candidate for the Presidential post  than Levon Ter Petrosyan. 

Referring to the essence of Draft law and modifications suggested,   Zourabyan  mentioned that during all these years the Republican Party  did all the possible to set a sole party system in Armenia, using all  the available financial and managerial resources for its prosperity  and pressing other political streams. "If authorities  do really do  want to set a multiparty  democratic system in Armenia, they should  support the strengthening of existing political parties, providing  them   financial support. It would be better to have a provision set  in this law, claiming an up to AMD 1 bln  financial aid to political  parties. In any opposite case this Law will have a decorative  character.
