    The Armenian Revolutionary Federation

    YEREVAN--The 32nd World Congress of the Armenian Revolutionary
    Federation, which convened on January 14 in Dilijan, Armenia and
    concluded it activities on January 24, issued a declaration at the
    conclusion of the meeting.

    Declaration Of The 32nd World Congress Of The Armenian Revolutionary
    Federation - Dashnaktsutyun The 32nd World Congress of the Armenian
    Revolutionary Federation - Dashnaktsutyun (ARF-D) was convened in
    Dilijan, Armenia, between January 16 and 24, 2015. Delegates from
    all ARF-D organizational regions and party members with consultative
    status participated in the Congress.

    The World Congress examined and assessed the activity, achievements
    and shortcomings of the party during the past term and prepared the
    ARF-D political roadmap and strategy for the coming four years. The
    Congress also prepared an action plan and decided on the party's
    position on foreign and domestic fronts based on its pan-Armenian
    and Armenia-centered worldview.

    The Congress noted that: a) Armenia and Armenians face serious
    challenges concerning the strengthening of the independent republics of
    Armenia and Artsakh, effective government, joining forces and securing
    favorable conditions for the actualization of our people's goals.

    b) Imperfections within Armenia's political system, difficulties
    in anchoring democracy within the country, and the unhealthy
    moral-psychological environment, and injustice undermine society's
    trust towards its own state. A comprehensive overhaul of Armenia's
    current economic policy is necessary to combat large-scale unemployment
    and poverty as well as the rampant emigration plaguing the country.

    c) The principle domestic political issues Armenia faces today are the
    establishment of a joint government-opposition political system, the
    separation of business from politics, the election of and effective
    government that stands as an expression of the people's will, the
    establishment of social justice, and the full protection of the rights
    of the citizen.

    d) Major powers have intensified their efforts within the South
    Caucasus and the wider region striving to extend and strengthen their
    zones of influence.

    e) Armenia's accession to the Eurasian Economic Union has created
    new strategic challenges for the country.

    f) Azerbaijan has intensified its bellicose policy towards Armenia
    with frequent violations of the ceasefire, increasing the risk of
    confrontation.

    g) Turkey is implementing an aggressive policy aiming at restoring
    its former imperial reach. Such a policy disrupts and physically
    endangers Armenian communities living in proximity to our homeland.

    The Congress established that the ARF-D shall pursue: a) The radical
    change of the political system of the Republic of Armenia through
    constitutional reforms and the pursuit of social justice.

    b) Efforts towards the peaceful settlement of the Artsakh conflict and
    the recognition of Artsakh's independence, and collectively counter
    the risks that threaten the security of our homeland.

    c) A renewal phase for the Armenian Cause on the centenary of the
    Armenian Genocide, with territorial demands as a strategic objective,
    coupled with the pursuit of a coordinated, pan-Armenian plan for
    genocide recognition and reparations.

    d) The protection of the rights of Javakhk-Armenians, and pursue the
    preservation of Javakhk's Armenian identity as a key element in the
    development of closer Armenia-Georgia ties.

    e) Full political, financial, and moral support for the Syrian-Armenian
    community in their struggle for self-preservation.

    f) Supporting the viability of Diasporan-Armenian communities and
    Armenia-Diaspora relations by harnessing the collective strength of
    Armenian communities worldwide.

    The Armenian Revolutionary Federation-Dashnaktsutyun (ARF-D) expresses
    its full support of the Armenian Armed Forces, the principle guarantors
    of the independence of the Republics of Armenia and Artsakh, who day
    in, day out stand as guardians of our homeland and our people's safety
    and peace, despite the many dangers they face.

    On the occasion of its 125th anniversary, the ARF-D renews its
    commitment to by devoting its efforts to tackling the challenges
    facing Armenia and Armenians, in order to make Armenia an important
    factor in the region, strengthen its sovereignty, and realize the
