Armenian Revolutionary Federation Promises Change in Governing Leadership if Protocols Ratified
/Tert.am/ “If the National Assembly ratifies the Armenian-Turkish Protocols as they are now, the Armenian Revolutionary Federation [Dashnaktsutyun, or ARF-D] will fight for a change in the country’s governing leadership,” member of ARF-D Bureau, Leader of ARF-D parliamentary faction Vahan Hovhannisyan stated at a press conference today.
Hovhannisyan also said that even if the National Assembly ratifies the Armenian-Turkish Protocols with reservations, it’s all the same, their party will not join them since it doesn’t think that those reservations will be in line with the changes ARF-D proposed earlier. However, Hovhannisyan didn’t exclude the possibility of discussing proposals for serious changes.
As for ARF-D’s protest demonstration against the Protocols, Hovhannisyan stated that “holding a rally” is not an end in and of itself and, at this time, they chose the method of their struggle which is most suitable for the present situation.
Accordingly, ARF-D is carrying out its “home to home” action, working with members of parliament in joint communities, and realizing its protest against the Protocols.
