ARF Dashnaktsutyun made a statement about its leaving governmental
coalition. The party refused 3 ministerial positions offered by
government.
The step was caused by Apr. 22 agreement signed between RA and Turkish
Foreign Ministries. The statement issued by the party says that
ARF Dashnaktsutyun, as of now acts as an opposition, Dashnaktsutyun
representative, RA NA MP Armen Rustamyan told a news conference today.
He also noted that at the moment differences in RA foreign policy
between ARFD and Government are insurmountable. The last meeting with
RA president became a proof to it.
It was clear even on Apr. 23 that the situation is serious, but as
the person responsible for country's foreign policy, RA President,
wasn't in Armenia, it was incorrect to announce our intention,
whithout discussing the issue with him.
"On Apr. 25, during our meting with Serzh Sargsyan, the
President assured us that Armenia's foreign policy line won't be
altered. Armenia will try to normalize ties with Turkey in reasonable
time limits, without sacrificing either NKR or Genocide issues to the
normalization." Dashnaktsytyun was not satisfied with the reply RA
President gave. Afterwards the party presented its views and announced
its decision.
"The party already decided upon its political line in the oppositional
filed. "Most probably, we won't manage to cooperate with ANC, because
of serious differences. We'll try to establish cooperation with
Heritage to form our oppositional field," Armen Rustamyan concluded.
