HAK Rep Predicts Heritage Party’s and Armenian Revolutionary Federation’s Future

Today more than ever the political arena in Armenia has been clarified: there are the authorities, there is opposition, represented by the Armenian National Congress (HAK), and there are other political and civic groups in opposition to HAK, said HAK representative David Shahnazaryan at a press conference in Yerevan today.

Explaining what groups he is referring to as being in opposition to HAK, Shahnazaryan said he meant the Heritage Party and the Armenian Revolutionary Federation (Dashnaktsutyun, or ARF-D), while urging these parties not to burn all their bridges.

“I don’t think that they have a future in this field: they’ll either be marginalized or they’ll appear completely in the political archives or completely in the arena of the authorities. Probably, it’s not worth burning all their bridges, but the decision is theirs,” he said.
