Vahan Hovhannisyan, Head of the ARF parliamentary faction stated that it is the Armenian Revolutionary Federation (ARF) that is actually the Opposition. He substantiates his statement by the fact that the Yerevan Municipality prohibited ARF representatives from staging a hunger strike in front of the office buildings of the RA Government and RA Ministry of Foreign Affairs, whereas the Armenian National Congress (ANC) was permitted to hold mass actions for five days “on end.” ‘This shows which one is the actual Opposition," Hovhannisyan said, making a traditional statement during the regular four-day session of the RA Parliament. He must have forgotten that several dozen rallies of ANC were prohibited while the ARF was in the echelons of power.

Hovhannisyan also pointed out that the aim of the actions (hunger-strike, sit-in, etc..) is to make the society awake and come to realize the danger of the initialed Armenian-Turkish documents. “We will try to get the dangerous points improved,” he said.
