April 11, 2013 | 18:54

YEREVAN.- ARF Dashnaktsutyun has officially announced its position
on the proposal to join Raffi Hovannisian, ARFD representative said.

“If decisions, the consequences of which are difficult to predict,
are made without discussing them with ARF, we have no intention to
bear responsibility for the consequences of these decisions,” Arsen
Hambartsumyan told Armenian News-NEWS.am.

Asked whether Raffi Hovannisian can lead the mass protests,
Hambartsumyan said that the greatest threat is disappointment.

“You can not afford letting a wave of discontent calm down. If people
experience another disappointment, this will mean that our country
will continue stagnating,” he said.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
