Armenian authorities once again lying about donations  to ARF  Dashnaktsutyun party in 2024

ArmInfo. Armenian authorities are once again lying when they talk about donations made to the ARF Dashnaktsutyun party in 2024, amounting to only 1.936 million AMD, as stated by Ishkhan Saghatelyan,  a representative of  the party's Supreme Body and a member of the National Assembly, to  journalists on October 2.

According to him, all the data on donations to the party is  available, as well as data on their collection.  "Yesterday in the  country's parliament, this man (RA Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan -  ed.) made another cynical statement on this matter. He spoke about  internal democracy in political parties, and this begs the question:  what has he got to do with it? No one else, not only in Armenia but  in the world, has such internal democracy as the ARF. Over 135 years,  the party's internal democracy has reached a level that many would  envy. Our meetings have never been a show; they involve active  discussions on domestic and foreign policy, regional and  international issues, resulting in the identification of programs  aimed at overcoming the existing issues. These meetings are not a one  man show," the Dashnaktsakan noted, pointing to the deeper essence of  what is happening around the ARF.

Saghatelyan noted that Armenia is currently being governed by  anti-national and anti-state forces, that have no sacred values, and  t waging a war against national identity. In contrast, the ARF party,  with its own history and national ideology, stands in opposition to  these forces. "Once they lose power, we'll see how long they last.  Then everyone will see who closes down and who remains," noted a  representative of the ARF Supreme Body.

In response to a question about Pashinyan's statement that the  opposition could achieve a change of power through rallies and acts  of disobedience, but is not doing so, Saghatelyan called on the Prime  Minister to suspend the activities of law enforcement agencies for 24  hours,  carrying out illegal detentions and arrests of public  activists and political figures. After that, it will become clear  whether he will remain in power or not.
