ARF PREVENTED THE GOVERNMENT

Lragir, Armenia
Sept 25 2007

The deputy speaker of the National Assembly Vahan Hovanisyan, member
of the ARF Dashnaktsutyun Bureau, made an interesting statement in
a news conference on September 25 at the Pastark Club. He said more
people would have been arrested in the night of April 13, 2004 if the
ARF Dashnaktsutyun had not condemned violence against protestors. The
reporters were surprised to hear this statement because nobody
remembered the ARF Dashnaktsutyun ever condemning anyone.

"It is our business whether we publicized it or not. It is important
that we prevented," the deputy speaker of the parliament says.
