Paruyr Hayrikyan, the leader of the National Self-Determination Union
(NSDU), said about the ARF that `they have existed for nothing for 100
years.’ Paruyr Hayrikyan told in detail why he was compelled to say so
during a conversation with today, `Vahan Hovhannisyan
said that the NSDU didn’t exist. And I said that he was living in the
era of the NSDU. How come a man living in the era of the NSDU, a
representative of a party that has constantly experienced failures
says that the NSDU doesn’t exist? In response to that, instead of
saying, `Dear Vahan, my dear brother, I am sorry for you, I love you
very much, I apologize to my life, my destiny that you were compelled
to say such an irrational thing,’ instead of that I said, `You were
established at the time, in order to establish autonomy in Armenia,
but you ended up with a genocide, you didn’t manage to maintain the
independent Armenia, then when we rose up for the fight for
independence, you were against independence. So you have existed for
nothing for 100 years.’ I just said that, but I am not proud of what I
said.’ According to Hayrikyan, the ARF responded to his words in the
following way, `Don’t mess with Hayrikyan, because he gives very sharp
answers.’
