DASHNAKTSUTYUN AND REPUBLICANS FAILED TO COME TO AGREEMENT
Lragir, Armenia
Dec 8 2006
The Republican Party and the ARF Dashnaktsutyun, the two coalition
forces, failed to reach agreement to guarantee the existence of a
state anthem set down in the law. Gegham Manukyan, an ARF leader,
told reporters on December 8 that they had failed to reach agreement.
He says the ARF is against adopting "Mer Hayrenik" as a provisional
anthem until the adoption of the new anthem without setting down the
music and lyrics.
Gegham Manukyan also stated that "Mer Hayrenik" had been sung
even before the Armenian state was established. The ARF member of
parliament said now when officially Armenia does not have an anthem,
people perform it as our official anthem. Gegham Manukyan said two
days ago, when "Mer Hayrenik" had already stopped being an anthem
under the law, the day of Dashnaktsutyun was celebrated in Armavir,
and "Mer Hayrenik" was performed.
