ARMENIAN REVOLUTIONARY FEDERATION WITHDRAWS FROM RULING COALITION, JOINS OPPOSITION: HOVHANNISYAN

The most important event for Armenia last year was the way the
Armenia-Turkey rapprochment was not thought through, said Armenian
Revolutionary Federation parliamentary faction leader Vahan
Hovhannisyan, summing up 2009.
"Perhaps it was on the evening of April 23 when our foreign minister
announced, along with Switzerland’s and Turkey’s foreign ministers,
where he pointed out that he was prepared for the ‘route map’ and
everything was already decided beforehand," emphasized Hovhannisyan.
According to the MP, no document has been established related to the
structure and details of the signing of the Protocols, and one cannot
consider the preparatory stage to have concluded.
"At the very least, it’s clear to us that we have nothing more to
do with governing authorities who make decisions in this way, and
Dashnaktsutyun [Armenian Revolutionary Federation] has [decided to]
withdraw from the ruling coalition, and move into the opposition
field. Likewise, it’s interesting to note that this changeover is
taking place on an ‘angry and shaking oppression’ stage, as in the
governing leaders’, as well as in the opposition’s field.
"Until now you have been hearing groundless talks about how
‘Dashnaktsutyun has such a small voice, and how it can implement
its plans’."
The same people, announced Hovhannisyan, after the elections, spoke
about the falsity about those elections and the inaccurate calculation
of ballots.
