Improper statements don’t do credit to Mr. Hovhannesyan, RPA member Gagik Melikyan stated. “Dashnaktsutyun was closely connected with Young Turks, it had The Treaty of Alexandropol on its conscience and I don’t believe Armenian nation agrees with Mr. Hovhannesyan,” he emphasized.

At March 13 news conference in Yerevan, ARF Dashnaktsutyun parliamentary faction leader Vahan Hovhannesyan accused Armenian Foreign Minister of “inability to negotiate”, specifically on issues regarding Armenia-Turkey relations.
