Our primary goal is to change power through free and fair elections,
to put it more precisely, to form a new government around our axis,
ARF Bureau representative Hrant Margaryan said during the 31st ARF
Congress in Yerevan.
However, he notes that life should not stop or fill with mutual
offenses before that.
"We should vote for the candidate we want. Bribetaking is immoral
during the elections," he said adding that the authorities have
exhausted their reserves of election fraud.
The ARF member offers a way out of the situation.
"The best of us who can protect the law and hinder fraudsters, should
take measures to prevent the reproduction of the authorities. We shall
soon begin to recruit volunteers regardless of their political views
and moral responsibilities. We call on everyone to cooperate with us
in an attempt to stop election fraud."
To unite? For what purpose?
"We are against exposing the country to shocks. Security and external
challenges require political stability and national solidarity. On the
other hand, no one has exhausted his constitutional right to fight
because it is impossible and pointless to live in an independent
state and destroy it, ignore the imperatives of its security," said
Hrant Margaryan.
"We have no desire to act as mediators in diarchy" he said.
"We are also blamed for not uniting with the opposition Armenian
National Congress (HAK)? But why should we unite with the HAK? Do they
expect us to unite and replace Serzh Sargsyan with Levon Ter-Petrosyan
[Leader of HAK], to return the years of intolerance and cynicism? That
will be a mere change of personalities. It does not matter which
of them [Serzh Sargsyan or Ter-Petrosyan] governs the country. What
is the difference between them? Why should we make a choice between
these two?" said the ARF representative.
"Anyway, I think it appropriate to say that we are ready to cooperate
with all forces on any question if they have definite plans and
agenda," Margaryan concluded.
