Armenia faces impending crisis, ARF states
September 18, 2010 | 12:25
All Armenian political parties are already making preparations for the
next parliamentary elections, Armen Rustamyan, an Executive Council
member, Armenian Revolutionary Federation (ARF), told NEWS.am.
He warned against believing the forces claiming they are not preparing
for the elections. `Some are more active others are passive - it is a
matter of political strategy. But all the political forces are
obviously preparing for the elections,' Rustamyan said. He stressed
that, unlike other political forces, the ARF is not yet discussing the
slates, as the party has relevant regulations. `We have no problems
with party tickets. Let other political forces think of it - they face
splits over each slate. But it is they that most of all speak of
disunity within Dashnaktsutyun. For 20 years these political forces
have been saying that Dashnaktsutyun is close to a split, but the
party has existed for 120 years, and it will exist as long until the
Hay Dat problems are resolved,' Rustamyan said.
Making political forecasts for this year, Rustamyan pointed out quite
vigorous processes are expected, as issues of national importance are
on the agenda: Armenian-Turkish relations, Nagorno-Karabakh problem,
worsening domestic problems, human rights and social justice problems.
`All this is evidence of serious domestic problems and of an impending
crisis,' Rustamyan said. Evidence thereof is, he said, the increasing
`qualitative migration,' when the young people supposed to shape
Armenia's future are leaving the country.
