Armenian Revolutionary Federation Dashnaktiutyun [ARFD] has left
the acting coalition because of irresistible disagreements regarding
the foreign policy problems of Armenia, member of ARFD Supreme Board
Armen Rustamyan said at today’s press-conference.

He also added recognition of the Armenian genocide, including
by Turkey, is one of the strategical directions of the national
security policy of the state. ‘Taking into account the anti-Armenian
position of the Turkish authorities, which are dictating their
pre-conditions to Armenia, the joint statement of foreign ministries
of Armenia, Turkey and Switzerland made on the eve of 24 April is
unacceptable for us’, – Rustamyan said and added there are also
principle disagreements with the official position of the Armenian
authorities regarding some points of the talks between Armenia and
Turkey. He also said that after leaving the coalition ARFD will act
as a new opposition force in the political field of Armenia. ‘ARFD
is going to be guided only with the national interests of the state
in the matter of the Karabakh conflict settlement and normalization
of the Armenian-Turkish relations. Moreover, we are going to make
the relevant steps for formation of civilized relations between the
opposition and authorities’, – he said and wished luck to all the
parties which enter the coalition in their future activity.
