ARFD IS A POLITICAL FORCE HAVING NO FUTURE, RUZAN KHACHATRIAN CONSIDERS
56
YEREVAN, MAY 30, NOYAN TAPAN. "According to a number of authoritative
countries, today Armenia is a poor and not democratic country," Ara
Sahakian, the former RA NA Vice-Speaker, stated at the May 30
discussion. As he classed, Armenia is like a child thrown to an
orphanage, whom they have bathed, clothed, taught him to use dishes "to
make him a man." Under such a situation, as A. Sahakian affirmed,
Armenia is just obliged to take the way of democratization.
The speaker touched upon the foreign political principles of ARFD
making part of ruling coalition mentioning that it seeds hatred for
Turkish people among Armenians every day, "while Armenia should live in
peace, happily with its neighbors." ARFD representative Artsvik
Minasian opposed to him. According to him, ARFD is a national political
force, in difference to some parties, for which the national is alien.
Ruzan Khachatrian, a Board member of the People’s Party of Armenia,
reminded to those present that ARFD took part in the February 19
presidential elections with the slogan "Neither to the Past Nor to the
Present," but today it "sticks to the present, therefore it will have
no future."
