Despite the outward calm, internal processes are going on in the
ARF-Dashnaktsutyun Party, `Hraparak' says.
The paper reminds its readers that some structures of ARFD,
particularly those in the U.S. and Lebanon, demand holding a special
General Assembly to discuss the situation within the party, the ARFD's
defeat in the elections in Armenia, and the further actions. They also
demand that new heads of the Supreme Body and the Bureau of ARFD be
elected.
`According to our information, the `discontented' members raised the
issue of replacing Hrant Margarian with the representative of the
party's North American structure, former member of the ARFD Bureau
Vigen Hovsepian. He was born in Lebanon, later moved to Canada, and
holds very conservative views. Vigen Hovsepian has never shared Hrant
Margarian's ideas and views and for that reason he was not invited to
the last General Assembly. It is not ruled out that Hovsepian will
become a representative of the Bureau, especially as rumors persist
that Armen Rustamian and Hrant Margarian are not on very good terms,'
the paper writes, adding that this is the reason why the ARFD tries to
prevent a General Assembly from being held.
