Today Armenia and the Armenian people are in a deep crisis. Ishkhan Saghatelyan, a representative of the Armenian Revolutionary Federation (ARF) Dashnaktsutyun Party Supreme Body and Armenia’s National Assembly vice-speaker from the opposition, said this during Saturday’s event dedicated to the 131st anniversary of the ARF.

"The authorities of the day have failed in all domains—in the Artsakh [(Nagorno-Karabakh)] issue, foreign policy, security, defense, army-building, economy. They have failed also in domains that were supposed to be of value and conviction to them.

It is already an obvious fact that they have nothing to do with democracy, human rights, a fair judiciary, the right to vote and to be elected. For them, that's just a slogan, a Facebook status, but never a goal.

(…) and the international community and organizations are silently following. Moreover, they say democracy in Armenia has made progress. Everything is clear: these authorities are convenient to everyone except the Armenian," he said.

According to Saghatelyan, the process of failing Armenia has not stopped and continues with greater vigor.

"Enough already! We have no place to wait, we have no time to retreat. The process of Armenian-Turkish reconciliation, which will lead to Turkification [of Armenia], must be stopped. And this will be one of the main directions of our political struggle," he added, in particular.
