YEREVAN. - Armenian authorities make great efforts to ruin the joint
headquarter, which will control over the upcoming parliamentary
elections, ARF Dashnaktsutyun MP Artyusha Shahbazyan told Armenian
News-NEWS.am.
At the same time, Shahbazyan rejected to comment on the initiative of
the ruling Republican Party of Armenia (RPA) member David Harutyunyan,
who proposed a set of rules for the conduct of a civilized election
campaign as an alternative to create joint headquarter.
To note, the preliminary idea of joint headquarter, included ruling
coalition member Prosperous Armenia Party (PAP), parliament opposition
ARF Dashnaktsuyun, Heritage and off-parliament opposition Armenian
National Congress (ANC). However, Heritage party representative
withdrew the party's agreement on Wednesday offering some conditions.
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.'
