Armenian Opposition Threatens To Hold Conference In Georgia

YEREVAN -- Armenia's largest opposition force is threatening to hold a conference in neighboring Georgia if the Armenian government refuses to provide a venue for the event, RFE/RL's Armenian Service reports.

The Armenian National Congress (HAK) of former President Levon Ter-Petrossian applied last week to hold their conference on December 19 in the government's main events hall, where political gatherings are often held.

Ter-Petrossian aide Levon Zurabian said if HAK does not receive a reply by December 15 "we will deem our application rejected."
