Armen Rustamyan: ARF Dashnaktsutyun believes that Armenia can develop without sacrificing its interests

Representative of the ARF Dashnaktsutyun Supreme Body Armen Rustamyan said that the ARF Dashnaktsutyun believes that Armenia can develop without any concessions in its foreign policy – in the Karabakh conflict settlement and Armenian-Turkish normalization.

“Our country can and should develop without making concessions in its state and national interests,” Rustamyan told a press conference.

According to him, the ARF Dashnaktsutyun has suspended its cooperation with the Armenian National Congress (ANC) due to discrepancies in this very stance, as ANC leader, Armenia’ first president Levon Ter-Petrosyan considers that Armenia’s development depends on certain concessions.

Rustamyan added that the ARF Dashnaktsutyun is ready to cooperate with those who support its opinion.
