YEREVAN (YERKIR) – “I think these books will help those who want
to understand the Dashnaktsutiun better,” Armenian Revolutionary
Federation (ARF-Dashnaktsutiun) Bureau representative Hrant Margarian
said at the presentation of new books about the ARF held on Wednesday
at the Bureau headquarters.
The books presented were: “Bibliography of the Armenian Revolutionay
Federation,” in 4 volumes, Ararat Hakobian’s “The Parliament of Armenia
and Political Parties in 1918-1920,” “ARF Figures Answer People’s
Questions,” Nikol Aghbalian’s “Thoughts on ARF,” Gevorg Khudinian’s
and Ararat Hakobian’s “The Latest Efforts to Distort the ARF History.”
Margarian said these books are mostly aimed at the youth. “But
the issues raised in the books are aimed at all the sectors of the
society,” Margarian added. “The books contain assessments of various
periods of the ARF activities, including the present times.”
National Assembly’s ARF faction leader Levon Mkrtchian noted that the
goal to publish these books was to familiarize our people with the
ARF. “Each of the 115 years of the ARF history is described in press,
book series, and today, we are continuing this tradition,” Mkrtchian
said. “Every generation passes on the ARF values to the next; we will
pass them on to the next generation.”
Artashes Shahbazian of the ARF Armenia Supreme Body’s Promotion Group
mentioned the books will be given as gifts to the participants of the
presentation, and later be donated to Armenian libraries. The books
will also be available at bookstores.
