13:31 - 20.08.11
Central Committee of the Armenian Revolutionary Federation in West
America has refused to attend a dinner to be served in Los Angeles on
the occasion of Armenia's 20th anniversary and in honor of Armenia's
president.
According to the Armenian daily Azg, the Committee said that Serzh
Sargsyan's presence will cast shadow on the idea of independence.
`The presence of Armenia's President Serzh Sargsyan on the occasion of
the 20th anniversary of independence and especially the dinner to be
organized in his honor will overshadow that idea of independence and
will depreciate the fight fought by our people for restoration of
justice,' the Committee said in a statement.
According to the Committee, the celebration of the anniversary of
independence cannot be used as an occasion to glorify officials who
have lost their credits.
It also said that due to the policy pursued by Armenia's current
leadership, the country is sinking into the mud of gangrenous.
`To ensure the reproduction of the criminal world, democracy and
democratic values continue to be violated,' said the Committee, adding
that it condemns the obstacles for the development of civil society in
Armenia.
`All this during the incumbent president's term in office have created
a moral-psychological unhealthy situation that has undermined
Armenians' trust in state and statehood,' read the statement.
Further, the Committee said it could not glorify a president who is
giving way in the peace talks over the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict and
has on several occasions expressed his willingness to return the
territories certified by the Constitution of the Republic of
Nagorno-Karabakh.
