Ishkhan Saghatelyan: New bloc committed to stopping collapse of Armenian statehood

Ishkhan Saghatelyan, one of the leaders of the opposition Armenian Revolutionary Federation (ARF, Dashnaktsutyun) party, said that the party will run in the upcoming snap parliamentary elections in alliance with Armenia’s former President Robert Kocharyan and the Reviving Armenia party.

In a Facebook post on Thursday, Saghatelyan said the new electoral bloc is committed to stopping the collapse of the Armenian statehood.

"The alliance is ready to take full responsibility, form a new quality government, handle the serious challenges facing the country, stop the collapse of the statehood and build a guaranteed future for Armenia through national unity and joint efforts," he wrote.
