Yerevan (Yerkir) – The Armenian Revolutionary Federation’s 119th
anniversary was solemnly marked at the Sundukyan Theater in Yerevan
on December 12. ARF Bureau representative Hrant Margaryan was the
keynote speaker at the event.
Margaryan focused on the recent events stemming from the signing of
the Armenian-Turkish protocols on establishing diplomatic relations.
Margaryan slammed Turkey’s hostile position towards Armenia from the
beginning of the Artsakh conflict. He also spoke of Turkey’s policy
of denying the Armenian genocide.
"We are not anti-Turkish, and the other side is not pro-Turkish,"
Margaryan said. "We are against Turkey’s denialist position, Turkey’s
anti-Armenian policies, but we are for the Armenian-Turkish relations
and the opening of the border. We are against humiliating conditions,
or any preconditions."
We need fundamental solutions, Margaryan concluded, and the ARF is
going for fundamental solutions.
The full text of Margaryan’s speech is available in Armenian.
