ArmInfo. 'An arrangement on holding election campaign within the
frames of ideological fight was made at the meeting of our party
representatives with the first Armenian president Levon Ter-Petrosyan',
- representative of the ARF Dashnaktiutyun Spartak Seyranyan said
over the debates in Hayeli club, Monday.
At the same he added that possible running of the ex-president
for president will not enhance the ideological factor over the
campaign. 'Everybody should understand that the political fight in
every civilized state should be held within the frames of certain
standards. At the same time we don't forget our ideological and
political disagreements with Armenian Pan-National Movement. For
instance, I could say much about the APNM and Ter-Petrosyan, but I
won't do that because we arranged', - Seyranyan said.
When commenting on the meeting of the ex-president with representatives
of the ARFD Seyranyan added: 'By this visit Ter-Petrosyan demonstrated
seriousness of his intentions, and said he is going to run for
president. And we demonstrated that we are not guided with emotions
in our political activity. We could meet several years ago and
it would be better. At present the history of relations between
Dashnaktiutyun and APNM did not become a topic of discussion at the
passed consultations. In the APNM nobody suffers of forgetfulness,
but at present stage there are more serious topics for discussion'.
To recall, on 28 December 1994 activity of the ARF Dashnaktiutyun was
stopped as it was accused of preparing terrorist actions and an attempt
of assumption of power. The party was "rehabilitated" on;y in 1998 when
Robert Kocharyan came to power. Representatives of APNM and ARFD used
to make statements against each other over the last years. but last
Saturday the first Armenian president Levon Ter-Petrosyan suddenly
visited the office of ARFD and held consultations there which lasted
for 40 minutes.
