"It's difficult to argue with people whose idea of politics are formed
based on the films 'Sevan's Fishermen' (1938) and 'Zangezur' (1938).
[Despite] being a member of Andranik Margaryan's entourage for so many
years, they still haven't learned what Dashnaktsutyan's role is in
this country," said Armenian Revolutionary Federation (Dashnaktsutyun,
or ARF-D) parliamentary faction leader Vahan Hovhannisyan, commenting
on Republican Party of Armenia MP Gagik Melikyan's statement that
"if by speaking of Dashnaktsutyan's successful negotiations with the
Turks, Vahan Hovhannisyan meant the approach with the Young Turks or
the Treaty of Alexandropol, then I don't think the Armenian people
are of the same opinion as him."
According to Hovhannisyan, "as soon as those people disgrace
themselves, they begin to remember the Treaty of Alexandropol or some
other thing."
