ARF-D Central Committee of West America congratulated the Armenian
people on the 20th anniversary of independence
In the statement the ARF-D CC welcomes the efforts of the Armenian
Consulate General to Los Angeles which organizes a series of events to
mark the holiday. A solemn reception in honor of President Serzh
Sargsyan will be organized at the Beverley Hills Hotel. In this
connection, the CC noted the presence of Serzh Sargsyan, as well as
the reception organized in his honor, may discredit the idea of
independence and play down the struggle of our people for justice.
`The Independence Day cannot be a reason to honor a disreputable
president `thanks to' whose policy independent Armenia is getting
bogged deeper and deeper for the sake of the reproduction of the
regime. Gross violations of human rights, lack of justice and
independence of the judicial system and an unhealthy climate have
annihilated the belief of the Armenian people in justice and
independence. The oligarchs who have taken in their hands the economic
system based on monopolies and the leverages of the parliament and
government continue to oppress people. The level of social injustice
and poverty cause the citizens of Armenia to emigrate, seeking their
future elsewhere,' the statement runs.
We cannot honor a president who surrendered in the issue of Artsakh
and announced ready to hand over the territories set down in the NKR
Constitution. We cannot honor a president who has led Armenia along
the humiliating and defeatist path for normalization of relations with
Turkey, the ARF-D CC of West America announced. Hence, the CC declared
to boycott the reception `in honor of Serzh Sargsyan'.
