At a rally held by the Armenian Revolutionary Federation Dashnaktsutyun (ARFD) today, two more political parties put their signatures to a statement against the Armenian-Turkish protocols. The ARFD Executive Council member Gegham Manukyan stated that the Nzhdehyan Tseghakron Party and the Haykandukht Party acceded to the statement today, bringing the number of signatories up to 14.

The opposition Armenian National Congress (ANC), which comprises 18 political forces, considers the political forces rallying round the ARFD the authorities’ plan, as they do not demand Serzh Sargsyan’s resignation.

Vahan Hovhannisyan (ARFD), Aram Karapetyan (New Times Party), Harutyun Arakelyan (Ramkavar-Azatakan Party of Armenia) and Stepan Safaryan (Heritage Party) made speeches at the rally held in front of the Moscow cinema. The last named demanded the Armenian President’s resignation.
