YEREVAN. - Only a free citizen can have a strong and free country and live decently, member of the Supreme Body of the ARF Dashnaktsutyun, Aghvan Vardanyan, who is the chairman of the party’s election headquarters, said at a rally Thursday (PHOTOS).

According to him, money and leverages are not the standards of a political force: it is instead measured by independence and faithfulness to principals and work.

“We should give the people power of new quality, power, which will like the country and people. It’s not true that an Armenian man is coward and opportunist,” he said.

ARF Bureau representative Armen Rustamyan, for his part, noted that the quality of changes, which ARF-D has introduced into the political life of the country, can definitely be called revolutionary.

 “End has been put to the individual governance, which sows injustice. People’s fundamental election right has been restored, the elections having become a real medium for passing the power to the people. The opposition and civil society have received a real opportunity to retain power and control it by specific mechanisms,” Rustamyan said.
