MORE PROFOUND COOPERATION WITH ARF DASHNAKTSUTYUN
Lragir, Armenia
Feb 7 2008
We have much in common with the ARF Dashnaktsutyun but not to the
point of allying, stated the leader of the National Democratic Party
Shavarsh Kocharyan February 7 at the Pastark press club who endorsed
Vazgen Manukyan. The reporters asked him where the negotiations for
allying with the ARF Dashnaktsutyun before the election have reached.
Shavarsh Kocharyan noted that their ideologies differ despite
similarities. But if they, according to Shavarsh Kocharyan, are a
national democratic movement, the ARF Dashnaktsutyun is a socialist
force. Shavarsh Kocharyan did not reveal details of the talks but
said independent from the result of the talks in this stage of the
presidential election they will have more profound cooperation with
the ARF Dashnaktsutyun in future.
