ARFD did not stir a finger to block Armenia-Turkey Protocols for about
a year, and now unfairly accuses Armenian National Congress (ANC)
that permanently alerted of the developments. Aram Musinyan, Levon
Ter-Petrosyan’s Press Secretary stated at Sept. 23 press conference,
commenting on Vahan Hovhannisyan statement (ARFD faction leader). The
latter told that ANC does not hold protests aiming at pleasing
the authorities, while expecting their failure in Armenia-Turkey
reconciliation for its political benefit. "ANC starting July 2008 has
openly declared the danger the current processes peril, when Serzh
Sargsyan stated he agreed to set up of historians’ commission. Whereas
ARFD being forced to maneuver, asserted that RA President has not
said so," Musinyan underlined.

According to him, ARFD was aware of the process for a year and "only
when Protocols appeared, tried to somehow save its face."

"ARFD did not do a hand’s turn for a year, while ANC spoke of the
imminent threat to Karabakh and Armenia," Musinyan said, adding:
"One should think before saying a stroke of genius."
