Hraparak: Trio of parties wages war on ARFD

A war is underway between ARF-Dashnaktsutyun Party and the trio of non-government parliamentary parties of Armenia. It all started when ARFD took a decision not to participate in the joint rally on October 10. The websites close to Prosperous Armenia Party (BHK) and Armenian National Congress (HAK) launched a large-scale campaign against this member of the “group of four”, ‘Hraparak’ writes.

“Yesterday the mass media reported that the deputy chairman of HAK Aram Manukyan “exposed” ARFD during a meeting with HAK supporters. He cited concrete facts of ARFD’s venality, noting that privileges related to the organization of the Armenian Genocide centennial events and financial revenues stemming from it will be given to ARF-Dashnaktsutyun and this is the reason of their pro-government orientation.

Manukyan also hinted that he does not rule out that Serzh Sargsyan had sent ARFD into the group of four parties so that it would assume the role of an opposition force. An article with the same underlying message was also posted on the websites defending BHK Party’s interests,” ‘Hraparak’ notes.

Aram Manukyan told the paper’s correspondent that he didn’t say such a thing and that one can learn about his opinion about ARFD by watching Urvagits program on Kentron TV Channel.
