What will the ARF Dashnaktsutyun be doing in case Serge Sargsyan
decides to retrieve the Dro or Vahan Hovanisyan +30 case to make
the party more obedient? These are the cases by which the leaders of
Dashnaktsutyun had been condemned, and have not been dismissed yet,
and the leaders were released due to a "change of the situation". The
reporters asked this question to Armen Rustamyan, the representative
of the ARF Dashnaktsutyun’s Supreme Body, on September 19 at the Friday
Club. They meant that Serge Sargsyan was the minister of security then.

"They can recall, we also have a lot to recall. Let them recall. We
have openly presented our biography, our past to people, and everyone
knows everything," Armen Rustamyan says. People can see and understand
everything. "Unfortunately, however, they cannot see their role in
it." This is our problem, Armen Rustamyan says.

Hence, the ARF Dashnaktsutyun also has a lot to recall. In this case,
it is interesting why the party does not recall and remind. Is
there any arrangement not to remind? "We do not want to kindle
vicious passions by reminders, to launch compromising actions which
will damage respect for debate. They will not lead us anywhere,"
Armen Rustamyan says. According to him, they do not wish to hold an
election with such methods.

"We have something important to tell. But if they start accusing us,
let the innocent cast the first stone on us. Who is the one with
crystal purity, feet in the clouds, an angel who will cast a stone
on us, and we will acknowledge that we are to blame for the problems
of people? If Dashnaktsutyun is responsible for all the problems,
does it mean you are innocent? No. This is a wrong approach. And,
believe me, if they accuse us of anything, we will have twice as many
accusations," Armen Rustamyan says. He says if they have to respond,
the response of the ARF Dashnaktsutyun is going to be forceful.
