ARMENIAN REVOLUTIONARY FEDERATION MARKS 118TH ANNIVERSARY
The Armenian Revolutionary Federation is marking its anniversary in many places all over the world. The 118th anniversary of the ARF and the 90th anniversary of the First Armenian Republic were celebrated at Yerevan's Gabriel Sundukian Theater on December 24. A documentary on the ARF's history was screened during the event.
ARF Bureau representative Hrant Margarian said that during the 118 years, there were many changes in the approaches of Dashnaktsutyun, but one thing is unchanged: "the dedication to the people."
The keynote speaker, ARF Supreme body of Armenia representative Armen Rustamian spoke chiefly about the party's activities in the past year. He said that past year will be remembered as a very active political year: presidential election, the shameful and tragic events of March 1, a new political coalition and government, war in our region, Armenian-Turkish communication after years of turmoil, activeness in Karabakh talks, the world crisis.
"Realizing the seriousness of the challenges that the country is facing, we participated in the presidential election with a goal to create a civilized ideological and political competition, to contribute to the fact that with the election of a new president, the county would enter a stage of stable growth, avoiding turmoil," Armen Rustamian said. He added that the people, unfortunately, did not accept the Dashnaktsutyun alternative and chose to make an election between the old and the present. This resulted in turmoil.
Rustamian also spoke of the Armenian-Turkish relations, the Karabakh conflict and other issues of concern for the Dashnaktsutyun.
