"If the authorities develop this process (Armenia-Turkey normalization
process), they will become operators of anti-Armenian programs -
whether they like it or not. Naturally, we will not stand such
authorities: they must go away for a force capable of resisting
to come to power," Armen Rustamyan, ARFD Executive Council member,
stated at a rally in Yerevan. He pointed out, however, that the ARFD
does not demand the President's resignation.
"We are asked: why do you not demand the President's resignation? There
is nothing easier. We can do so and ask them: what else are you
expecting from us? Some demanded resignation, but they are standing
aloof now... What is their aim? May be you want it (ratification)
to take place in order to come to power and say: 'well, it is an
accomplished fact, it cannot be helped...'," Rustamyan said.
"No! Whoever comes to power after that must first of all invalidate
the process. If we have reached this stage, the people must vote
for the force that will clearly state its willingness to invalidate
everything. It is a criterion," Rustamyan said.
H pointed out they are not struggling "against", rather "for the sake
of", and their mottos are "No!" and "Do not give in!" "This is not
a demand for resignation though it may logically turn into such,"
he said.
"If we demand the President's resignation today, we will face the
following question tomorrow: who is to fill the post of President?"
