ARFD: party may cooperate with ANC only in certain programs

Head of the ARF Dashnaktsutyun (ARFD) parliamentary group Vahan Hovhannisyan said that ARFD may cooperate with ANC only in certain programs and actions aimed at changing the current system in Armenia.

The ARF Dashnaktsutyun will not unite with other forces only to allow another party to come to power and do the same things as the current authorities, Hovhannisyan told a press conference in Yerevan.

He added that ANC offers unification around itself, while all those, who disagree with it, are subjected to attacks like leader of Heritage party Raffi Hovannisian or the ARF Dashnaktsutyun.

“There will be unification, but we will make the decision with whom and how we will unite and not at someone’s bidding,” said Hovhannisyan.

He added that it is necessary to create the second opposition pole in Armenia, while Dashnaktsutyun is ready to cooperate in this matter.

However, similar cooperation’s model has not been formed, said Hovhannisyan.

In a conversation with a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter, Hovhannisyan refrained from naming the political forces, with which Dashnaktsutyun is ready to cooperate, saying that it may be a result of long discussions and negotiations.
