Yerevan (Yerkir) – A conference of the Armenian Revolutionary
Federation Hay Dat committees opened at the Erebuni Plaza business
center in Yerevan on May 7.

Convened biannually, this conference is the third in a row to be held
in the capital cities of the both Armenian states – Armenia and
Nagorno Karabakh.
Making the opening remarks, Levon Lazarian of the ARF Bureau said
that the conference gives yet another opportunity to coordinate the
ARF activities as well as outline a future political process.

Lazarian said that the Hay Dat committees represent the force linking
the ARF with the Armenians in the Diaspora and Armenia. He pointed to
the importance of holding the conference in both Armenian states,
adding that it is through the committees that the Armenian potential
around the globe comes together in one place.

`A crowd of supporters with clear goals has comet together in this
conference,’ Lazarian said. `Supporters, who believe in our people’s
natural and unequivocal rights to have a united, strong and sizable
state in their historical homeland. It is the people who believe in
this dream that ensure our people’s endurance. We believe that the
Republic of Armenia and the Nagorno Karabakh Republic are the first
steps on this great way.’

Lazarian was followed by ARF Supreme Body of Armenia representative
Armen Rustamyan and ARF Bureau member Hakob Ter-Khachaturyan.

The conference participants will leave for Stepanakert on May 8 where
the conference will continue. They will also participate in the
festivities marking the liberation of Shushi.
