Who cares about the ARF? They always become an 'opposition' right before the elections, and afterwards get back into the government again. They are such a minor party that it's not worth paying them much attention beyond a one line news headline.

Armenia's todays borders were drawn by none other than Dashnaks themselves (Khatisyan) in the treaty of Alexandropol on Dec 2, 1920 -- this same treaty also effectively renouncd the treaty of Sevres. We demand that Turkey comes to terms with its past -- Dashnaks need to do the same, for their own benefit. Moreover, it is time to reveal the names of REAL perpetrators of Genocide: the Zionist Dohnme Jews such as Carasso, Javid-bey, Talyat pasha, Ataturk himself along with other hard-code Zionists such as Jabotinski, Gelfand, Ganevski, and others. These puppeteers masterfully used Turks to carry out what they have planned for years -- annex Palestine (which was under Ottoman empire's rule at that time) and in the process pillage the wealth of the wealthy in the Ottoman empire (happens to be Armenians at that point in time -- if these were Aleutians or Aborigines, they wouldn't care any more or less). They and their modern "brothers-in-arms" descendants in Turkey (Army generals and their supporters, such as Deniz Baykal), Israel, and the US (most prominently, AIPAC) had managed to remain and continue to remain in the shadow to this date, while the sheeple are tricked into the same old Armenian-vs-Turk and Christian-vs-Muslim trick, made up, by the way, by the same puppeteers. Someone needs to do a PhD thesis on this topic -- I will even co-sponsor his/her studies. There is a 500+ page work on the topic of Zionists and Dohnme's roganizing Armenian genocide: http://www.jrbooksonline.com/PDF_Books/JewishGenocide.pdf

To be honest, it would be ok if we have a Tashnak as Foreign or Prime minster but in current situation, it would not be a good idea, to have a Tashnak as president, because sometimes Tashnaks forget to think twice (assists twice and third our7there power and possibilities) before making any “aggressive statements” or put unrealistic demands .. I admire and have respect for the role played by Robert Kocharjan and Serzh Sarkisyan and many others for securing the very existence of Karabakhi/Arzakhi people, but this do not justify there all other illegal actions and break of laws! One of tasks of Roberts’s regime was to create as many as so called “political parties” as possible in the last 10 years! (Divide and rule). During Levon Ter-Petrosyan’s undemocratic rule, we had Babken Araksyan (a bureaucrat of low profile and puppet of Levon/Boss) as speaker of Parliament. Ones I had the chance to meet Babken Araksyan- My impression was: “ O my god, this man – Babken Araksyan- will even not be ready to leave his chair to go for a urgent needed toilet, fearing somebody else would take his chair , even if his boss wont allow that happen…” Today is no different a single person, who is not even able to protect the interests of Karbakhi , appoints the speaker of parliament, and the folk accepts this … We need a parliament (for Armenia) and a Senate (for Armenia, Diaspora and even Karbakh) . Armenia needs a president and not a “BOSS” !

Finaly a party with integrity. They will make great opposition. Maybe they will save us a second time in our history.

Dear Armenians I welcome the move of Tachnaks, all respect to them. (Im not one of them). trying to stay with the government as long as they could to be able to try to change something, for the sake of Armenia. 22nd of April, was the last drop and they very clearly classified the integrity of Armenian nation higher then anything else. They will be respectful opposition, based on true Armenian values.

I have send a letter to President Obama.. Message of Armenian Americans could read as fallow: Than you Mr President for your message ... but I misseda link in your statement regarding your views on Armenian Genocide, which should be the vies of new US Adminstartion regarding Armenian Genocide (Meds Yegern). I hope the error with the link will be corrected by “Web Administration” in the White House....Nevertheless the passage of H. Res. 252 will relief Turkish government form a big pain cause by themselves. Passage of H. Res. 252 will help to cure the amnesia of Turkish politicians… Yours Sincerely,

to me-me: I like your comments. It is rare to hear anything intelligent these days.

Yes! the powerful party is back to Work! Work for Armenian people all over the World, Who struggle against Turkish government whom the authorities "really" believe in! (SHAME) I beleive that ARF will be The most powerful opposition as it has been before! Thank you! Really nice & honest decision!

I am not a Tasnka or pro Levon... but how comes Dashnaktsutyun doesn’t demand fresh parliamentary election ? 90% of parliamentarians are either corrupt or are the owner of a "Import Inc." . Hovik Abrahamian will push in the right time for 90% of parliamentarians’ "the "yes" bottom, sign the arrangement and send it to the president. Next day - after the train is left- he will organize a show in parliament – called “parliamentary desiccations” On April 22/23 Hovik Abrahamian was not in Armenia (but in Poland!) - Is this by accident? He is the second person in the state and he was defiantly informed about actions of S. Sarkisyan .. .

Sorry for my “bad “ English.. Die NZZ in Switzerland – a very reliable news paper- has reported already on April 24 in his front page regarding agreement on “historical commission” . There is no report if so called “historian commission” is allowed to use the term “genocide” and the truth about Treaty of Kars(even more importanter) .. Armenian government has to release the whole text of agreed “rode map” … Every Armenian and above all President S. Sarkisyan should know that we are dealing with a Turkey whose President –Gul- went to court in order to prove to Turkish people: he is 100 % Turkish and has no Armenian blood . We are not talking of Hitler or Goebel or Nazi Germany and other racist – We are talking about the president of so called modern Turkey, A “strategic” ally of US and EU! The move of RAF Daschnaks to leave the coalition was calculated by Serzh Sarkisian. When S. Sarkisyan is not wiling to break with the Diaspora and others, how can he except that Turks risk a symbolic “break” with Azerbaijani Turks (“brothers”)? Serzh Sarkisyan would probable be willing even to go as far as to leave the Republican party of Armenia and appoint Levon Ter-Petrosyan as Prime or Foreign Minster (any way this would be a chance for him, to get a latest update from Levon´s old plans) . If Kocharjan wasn´t ready to go so far as S. Sarkisyan because of : a) Andranik Markarian (who had family roots in Van and more ) . b) Turkey was not ready for “changes and move on” …. Daschnaks had NO say in the government even as Kocharyan was the president, beside this Robert Kocharyan was the “commander in chief” but the “power man” was Serzh Sarkisyan! As many times announced by S. Sarkisian and his Foreign Minster there is no preconditions for the implementation of Turkish preconditions written or hidden in “road map”. But any first we have to please Azerbaijani Turks and waiting for the merci of Baku. Second as announced by the commander of chief, every Armenian is convinced of the fact of Armenian Genocide a “historical commission” will do not do any harm to Armenian people, therefore it would be not bad idea to investigate the facts with the “killer state itself” ones again. Third Turkey has changed a lot e.g. stopped calling Kurds “mountain Turks and started translating Turkish propaganda and broadcasting in Kurdish and Armenian, beside this Turkey is becoming “more European” and Armeian Genocide is a fact , therefore there is no problem if we accept the Treaty of Kars instead and making a small gift/gesture for millions of Turkish loses, who were fighting for pan Turan , instead demanding compensation from Turkey …. I don’t think a new Armenian Genocide Resolution by Us Congress will be of any help for the Armenian cause, given the fact that many Congress members, like Jane Hartman, R. Wexler and in the past T. Lantos and many ,many others are/were all just to close to Israel… But this is just another issue… If plan“ A” of Serzh Sarkisyan works, in this case Turkey would like to replace - or Turkey is forced to replace- “Shimon Peres and a part of pro Turkish Jewish lobby” with the “government of Armenia” getting help – in this or other way - bringing relief for Turkey, as we witnessed on April 22 or April 24 ! Turkey managed to kill with one stone two birds ( I think H. res 252 looks like a “dead borne child”, but there is a saying “ deads some time living even longer”) ) . There is a big chance that Turkey will shut on his foot. In this case I would recommend a plan “B”  A “Islamic Pakistani Taliban State “ with Atom bombs is more dangerous for Israel and US/Russia than a well organized and stable Iran with a exaggerated and primitive “atom technology”. Given the fact that Iranian President has voiced his support for “two state solution” regarding Israel and Palestinian conflict, and policy and attempts of Iran to stop Talibans to take the control in Pakistan ( a real threat to Iran’s territorial integrity in south east /province Balujestan bordering Pakistan) and threats coming from R. Azerbaijan from North. Iran and US could be a true strategic partners, If Israel agrees to respect the right of Palestinian people to have there own state. This would be welcomed by the hardliners in Teheran and open many possibilities for IRAN/US cooperation! Turkey can not be of any use for US in there attempts to stop Talibans in Afghanistan and Pakistan or to stabilize Iraq (Turkey is part of the problem )… Soon or later US will realize this. US need a real alternative to Turkey which could be only Iran. In this case Armenia has to recognize the independence of Karabakh within current borders. Join the new strategic axe, which is going to be created - “Washington, [Tibilisi], Yerevan, and Teheran). Given the fact that Russia is as well interested to stop Talibans and terrorism, the “new axe/ alliance” Washington, Yerevan and tibilisi), Tehran should be b even much welcomed by Russia … There are many reasons to accelerate the contraction of Iranian Armenian rail road

Welcome back Dashnaktsutiun where you belong: with the People. And not the bunch of gangsters who have taken Armenia hostage. It was a shame to see ARF next to gagsters like Dodi Gago, Serj Sarkisyan, Arthur Baghdasaryan etc... These people are the scum of our nation.

They shouldn't have had a joint statement on the eve if April 24th. This is sacred date. But I wish Sargsyan well.

От доли той принципиальности (повторяю, только принципиальности, а не криминальной энергии), которая была у дашнакцутюн в начале 90-х не осталось и следа. И сегодняшний шаг - всего лишь жалкая попытка восстановить безвозвратно потерянный в последние 10 лет авторитет в глазах народа. Сегодняшние дашнаки никогда бы не осмелились принять такое решение без одобрения своих покровителей во власти, и они играют (и сыграют) примерно ту же роль, которую играл артур (и менее успешно гехамян) при предыдущем правителе. И если в случае подобных "партий одного человека" такая смесь беспринципности и меркантильности может быть где-то объясняема, то такую партию с историей, как дашнакцутюн, даже несколько жаль, причем вне зависимости от того, разделяешь их взгляды или нет.
