On March 20, during parliamentary briefings, the secretary of the ARF
Dashnaktsutyun parliamentary faction Artyusha Shahbazyan stated that
at the Yerevan Council election the ARF Dashnaktsutyun will point out
the current problems existing in the capital and if the government
is to blame for them, the Dashnaktsutyun will announce it. He said
that during the last 1, 5 year when they constituent a part of the
government, it has tried to preserve its independence and if it is
necessary they express opinions which disagree with those of the
government. This was Artyusha Shahbazyan’s answer to the question
whether the ARF Dashnaktsutyun will be opposition at the Yerevan
Mayor Election as it was at the presidential election.

Shahbazyan announced that the ticket of the party is not known
yet; the information that it is headed by Artsvik Minasyan is not
true. Shahbazyan said that Minasyan is one of their main candidates but
there are problems concerning his documents as he is registered in the
Armavir region but has been living in Yerevan since 1994. Shahbazyan
stated that this question will be solved in the court as it is up to
the court to decide it.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
