ARSENYAN HAS PROBLEMS WITH THE ARMENIAN REVOLUTIONARY FEDERATION

Today during the Parliamentary briefings Gourgen Arsenyan, head of the
United Labor Party, brought a `historic’ charge against the nationalist side
of the present authorities. Although Arsenyan did not mention any political
power during his accusation, everyone knows that the nationalist side of the
RA authorities is the Armenian Revolutionary Federation. Gourgen Arsenyan
has `revealed’ why several Armenian political powers are against forming an
Armenian-Turkish Committee to investigate the historical documents of the
Armenian Genocide.

`They fear that the investigation of the existing documents will reveal
their guilt’, says Gourgen Arsenyan meaning that is were those nationalist
powers that stimulated the Armenian Genocide.

In answer to this Levon Mkrtshyan, head of the Armenian Revolutionary
Federation, also without giving names, advised the authors of the accusation
`to open the names of the family and to count how many of them were murdered
by the Turks’.

Generally the opinions of the Parliamentary fractions are almost the same
about the creation of the Armenian-Turkish Committee. According to the
Armenian Parliamentarians the idea of creating such a committee is not bad,
but the fact of the Armenian Genocide does not have the need to be proved by
documents, and thus the question is not subject to discussion.
