Really? Really? And people still wonder why the ARF is not taken seriously as an independent political force in Armenia, much less as an opposition force:
Ընդդիմադիր Հայ հեղափոխական դաշնակցություն խմբակցության ղեկավար Վահան Հովհաննիսյանը ասաց, թե չի ծանոթացել ՀԱԿ-ի պահանջներին, սակայն նրան հետաքրքրել է կոալիցիայի պատասխանը: [link, quote from Vahan Hovhannisyan]
The ARF tried to stand in allegiance with their Heritage colleagues on this one, and tried to criticize the behavior of the police. But they couldn't bring themselves to comment on the 15 points. Tell me you don't like the 15 points, tell me you disagree with the approach, the points, the strategy, that you think it is futile, totally wrong, anything, something, but don't tell me, that as a self-proclaimed opposition party, you haven't "familiarized" yourself with them yet.
The March 1, 2011 demonstration was among the largest in the past 2-3 years. The main outcome was the presentation of 15 points of contention (to put it mildly) by the opposition to the regime, which must be acted upon within 2 weeks, per the opposition. And as an opposition power, the ARF has not had the opportunity? time? chance? to "familiarize" themselves with these points? Or perhaps there is another reason that Mr. Hovhannisyan declined to comment on the 15 points...
Perhaps the ARF just needs another glass of champagne...
