YEREVAN (YERKIR) - Dmitry Rogozin, the former leader of the Rodina
Party and a member of the Russian State Duma, called for establishing
a party in Russia similar to the Armenian Revolutionary Federation.
As reported by Yerkramas, a newspaper published by the Armenians of
southern Russia, Rogozin, speaking of a patriotic movement's future
in Russia with a Russian online publication, said the example of the
Armenian Revolutionary Federation could be useful.
"ARF has been the key anti-Turkish force during the genocide of the
Armenian people at the hands of the Ottoman Empire. Armenians became
a 'scattered' nation but they had the ARF whose branches operated in
different countries.
There was an international bureau which made decisions on main issues,
there were creative, cultural and educational elites."
