Zhirayr Sefilyan: ANC was unable to fulfill its mission
ARFD does not pursue honest goals, leader of Miatsum national initiative Zhirayr Sefilyan told a news conference in Yerevan. The movement, he said, is conducting a signature campaign in Yerevan. "Every day, we collect 800-1000 signatures. Had ARFD wanted to prevent RA-Turkish Protocols from being signed, it would have collected 1 million signatures and submitted them to President," he noted.

Touching on cooperation with Armenian National Congress (ANC), activist said that they had supported Levon Ter-Petrosyan, but congress was unable to fulfill its mission. "We can't fold our hands," he said, "We struggled with ANC on a united front and are not going to quit it."
