YEREVAN. - ARF Dashnaktsutyun party comes in order to return power to
the nation, the head of ARFD's parliamentary group Vahan Hovhannisyan
announced during the party's meeting on Liberty Square in Yerevan
on Tuesday.
"We did not come to take the power by force or bye it with bribe like
others do. We did not come to beg for the power. We came to take what
belongs to us according to the Constitution - the power. We want to
return the power to you. They took the power from us taking advantage
of our weaknesses," Vahan Hovhannisyan mentioned. "The revolutionary
spirit is not in screams and noise. Even political people announced
that our last program was the best and the most real. This is it,
the real revolutionary spirit. If we manage to make it a part of our
lives with your help, then not the coming generation but you too will
witness the revolution."
The Armenian Revolutionary Federation (ARF) Dashnaktsutyun is one of
the oldest Armenian political parties. It was founded in the end of
19th century.
Following the Sovietization of Armenia in 1920, the ARF-Dashnaktsutyun
was banned by the Communists and its leadership exiled. The
ARF-Dashnaktsutyun officially re-emerged in Armenia after the collapse
of the USSR, in 1990.
In June 2003, the party signed a coalition memorandum with the
Republican Party of Armenia and Orinats Yerkir (Rule of Law). However,
in 2009 ARFD left the coalition in protest against signing the
protocols with Turkey.
Party's proportional list includes 85 candidates. Eight candidates
will run for an MP seat with majority system. The party's motto is
'Freedom, Justice, Dashnaktsutyun.'
