Name me one thing that the ARF has done to bring about an Independent and Democratic Armenia. Hatred is when the Dashnaks did nothing when peacful protesters were attacked. Dasknaks said nothing for the victims of March 1. <br />But Tzitzernak2 is right, and I will quote him/her "hey, let's move forward not back."Aziz55.5https://www.blogger.com/profile/15099503886429144725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7132482201495450386.post-11145506393825711102009-07-23T10:11:28.676-07:002009-07-23T10:11:28.676-07:00Well said.

I don't know if this is a leftover from the Soviet times (starting as early as 1920-s)... Such terminology seems to exist among the Diasporans as well but is not as hateful as what you encounter in Armenia.<br /><br />I don't like the way ARF has behaved since the independence, especially the Dro conspiracy, the murders of policemen in the early 90-s or the October 27. But these were criminal activities and should be called as such. These were not an act of treason. The members of ARF have every right to have their ideology as long as they do not commit any crime based on them.<br /><br />Similarly, the bloodbath on March 1 and the subsequent imprisonment of the political prisoners is not an act of treason but criminal behavior. So I do not think that Robert Kocharian or Serj Sargsian are traitors. They simply are suspects for criminal acts (according to the constitution they are innocent until proven guilty even though they themselves do not follow that article).<br /><br />I just don't know if the hostility in politics is a reflection of the hostility in the society or not.Ankakh_Hayastanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05325640735361093139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7132482201495450386.post-37550443066144593042009-07-22T20:34:53.258-07:002009-07-22T20:34:53.258-07:00Anonymous -

I do remember that certain ARF/AYF youth camps used LTP's photo as actual target practice in the 1990's - now that's rabid hatred.<br /> But, hey, let's move forward, not back.tzitzernak2https://www.blogger.com/profile/05353940374231841453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7132482201495450386.post-76901372181386488672009-07-22T20:01:35.159-07:002009-07-22T20:01:35.159-07:00Enough with your rabid hatred of the ARF.
