Saturday, July 26, 2008
YEREVAN (Yerkir)-The 14th Armenian Revolutionary Federation Supreme
Congress of Armenia concluded Sunday in Vanadzor with the party
emerging with the conviction to strengthen the its Armenia organization
with new vigor and new blood.
The Congress, which began Friday meticulously examined and discussed
the Supreme Council's activities and approved resolutions for future
activities.
On the political front, the Supreme Congress assessed the party's
decision to enter the governing coalition and found the decision to be
sound, adding however, that the party's participation in the coalition
is contingent on political reforms, deepening of democratic norms,
fighting against corruption and reforms in the socio-economic sphere.
The Congress also reaffirmed the party's commitment to the just and
pro-Armenians resolution to the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.
In discussing the events of March 1 and 2, the Congress urged the
special parliamentary to fully investigate the tragic events and make a
full disclosure in order to satisfy public expectations.
The Congress also decided that the ARF in Armenia should also strive
for the improvement of the domestic atmosphere and encourage
constructive dialogue between political forces.
The Congress once again reinforced and reiterated the ARF's position
that the veracity and fact of the Armenian Genocide should not be
called into question, adding that Turkey's pre-conditions for
normalizing relations between Armenia and Turkey were unacceptable.
At the conclusion of the Congress a new 15-person Supreme Council of
Armenia was elected. At its plenary session, Armen Rustamian was
elected chairman.
