Vahan Hovhannisyan recollects KGB prison
The Armenian Revolutionary Federation - Dashankstutyun (ARFD) cannot collaborate with any political party over the issue of a single leader, ARFD faction leader Vahan Hovhannisyan said on Wednesday.
"We don't rule out cooperation, but no political force that respects itself can cooperate around a concrete leader. We can collaborate over a specific project or plan, or discuss possibilities of fair elections. But we can never decide together who is to be the nation's papa or grandpa," Hovhannisyan said during today's discussion in the Civilitas Foundation.
This comes after David Shahnazaryan of the Armenian National Congress (HAK) called on the ARFD and Heritage not to burn bridges of collaboration with the HAK.
"Shahnazaryan should have thought about bridges earlier, when he was holding the position of the KGB and I was closed in KGB prison. Let Shahnazaryan make the proposal when mocking Heritage Party leader Raffi Hovannisian who was staging hunger strike in Liberty Square," said Vahan Hovhannisyan.
