The Armenian Revolutionary Federation-Dashnaktsutiun continues its
protest actions at Republican Square. The party has gathered over 50
000 signatures against the Armenian-Turkish Protocols.
ARF administration today visited the party stalwarts picketing near
Government building and Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Taking into consideration the wave of protests in Armenia and beyond
its boundaries, ARF faction chairman Vahan Hovhannisian thinks Serzh
Sargsyan should postpone the signing of the Protocols.
"This is the nerve that cannot be touched on. If the authorities
continue their policy they will lead the country to a grave and
unstable situation. This is an issue that cannot be addressed by any
political force. This is a national issue capable of harming human
morality," said Vahan Hovhannisian.
The ARF faction chairman is convinced that with the postponement of
Protocols’ signing Serzh Sargsyan will be understood worldwide.
"Let Mr. Sargsyan say six weeks was not enough for the discussions. I
think the authorities were to draw conclusions within the six weeks."
ARF MP Artyush Shahbazian thinks Serzh Sargsyan has already determined
Armenians’ fortune behind the scenes.
With the signing of the Protocols the authorities will decide their
fate. We can neither tie them nor keep them under lock. The document
will have no force as it is not admitted by Armenians and by the
Diaspora.
Our Diasporan compatriots said openly that they do not admit this
president," said ARF member Gvidon Simonian.
