DASHNAKTSUTYUN FAILED TO SOLVE CHAKHALYAN'S MYSTERY

The Armenian Revolutionary Federation was strangely silent about the
passions after the local elections in Javakheti, which culminated in
the arrest of Vahagn Chakhalyan in Armenia. It was strange because
this political party claims to be the advocate of the preservation of
the Armenian nation and the Hay Dat. Meanwhile, when Dashnaktsutyun
failed to react to the recent events, it made think that the silence
of the ARF Dashnaktsutyun is highly doubtful and even part of a plot.
On November 16 we asked Kiro Manoyan in charge of Hay Dat and political
issues of the ARF Bureau to answer why the ARF was silent.
He stated that the ARF did not react to Chakhalyan's arrest and the
reason was that they considered this arrest as mysterious. "The person
who was awarded by the prime minister several months or one or two
years ago was arrested in Armenia, and returned to Javakheti as a
hero. The truth is not clear, therefore we did not want to express
a standpoint," says Kiro Manoyan.
And were you willing to solve the mystery, we asked the representative
of the ARF Dashnaktsutyun. He assured that they had tried but it was
very difficult to find out anything, and they learned very little. "If
the accusation was real, the accusation that they crossed the border
is to be criticized, and they could stop and get the seal. But I
don't think that he was a refugee, if the accusation is true because
I know that many people cross the border every day and this is the
first time they demand a seal. If there are other purposes, these
are not clear," says Kiro Manoyan. His personal opinion on all this
is that Vahagn Chakhalyan returned to Javakheti as a hero.
