The Supreme Body of the Armenian Revolutionary Federation organized
a conference today titled "Pre-signed protocols and Armenian-Turkish
relations: National-state interests and challenges." Reports were
presented by Head of the Armenian Revolutionary Federation (ARF)
Bureau’s Hay Dat and Political Affairs Office Kiro Manoyan, Head of the
Modus Vivendi center Ara Papyan and member of the ARF Dashnaktsutyun
faction Artsvik Minasyan.

"We are at the threshold of a historical, fatal event, and we are
trying to discuss it publicly. Why do we fail to succeed? Why do the
discussions grow into confrontation, mutual insults and partition? Why
does the danger of division again threaten all of us?" Hrant Margaryan
said, urging everyone to suppress the passions.

"Our approach is clear, we are not playing a double game. The
Armenian Revolutionary Federation stands against the signing of the
protocols. We insist on this, because we see the existing threats,"
Hrant Margaryan said.
