Secretary of the Armenian Revolutionary Federation Dashnaktutyun
(ARFD) Party Faction Aghvan Vardanyan told media Friday that staff
reshuffles in the top echelons of the ARFD Bureau are possible (it is
widely rumored that there are discrepancies within ARFD over the
candidature of the Bureau representative Hrant Margaryan - ed.)
He said that ARFD is an active structure where debates are held
regularly to settle internal problems. It does not mean, however, he
said, that there is split within the party. "Irrespective of whether
the last elections were fake or not, ARFD failed them. Consequently,
it must seriously think of its future," he said. Commenting on the
statement by Hrant Margaryan, ARFD Burau representative, that Prime
Minister Tigran Sargsyan declared war against ARFD, Aghvan Vardanyan
said that ARFD has no problems with anyone.
"ARFD is an independent force and makes independent decisions. In this
light, we had no problems," he said. Nevertheless, he said, Prime
Minister Sargsyan did not refute Margaryan's statement.
Earlier, Hrant Margaryan, ARFD Bureau representative, in an interview
with RFE/RL Armenia service, said that Prime Minister of Armenia
Tigran Sargsyan has openly declared war against ARF Dashnaktsutyun
Party. He said that the ordered Mass Media articles slamming ARFD
should be considered in the context of the prime minister's 'war'. He
is sure that those items are financed by the prime minister.
Markaryan means a series of mass media reports on alleged split within
the ARFD that pursues a goal to depose Hrant Margaryan.
Commenting on Margaryan's interview, Prime Minister's Spokesperson
Haroutyun Berberyan expressed surprise at the 'war' announced against
ARFD. "The prime minister has always respected the traditional
Armenian parties and considered them a national value. As regards the
internal problems of ARFD, it is their internal affairs. Tigran
Sargsyan, as Deputy Head of the Republican Party does not interfere
with the internal affairs of other political forces," Berberyan said.
