A serious split is taking place within the oldest Armenian political
party, Social Democrat Hunchakian Party (SDHP). At the special session
of the party a decision was made to dismiss the chairwoman of the
party - Lyudmila Sargsyan.
The split started still in autumn, when some of party members accused
Sargsyan of not being able to keep party secrets, and of passionately
spreading inter-party controversies in mass media.
One of Sargsyan's main opponents, Narek Galstyan, head of the youth
branch of SDHP, stated that he and his supporters had to express
dissatisfaction, because "they had run out of patience."
"She has been insulting her party colleagues through mass media for
months. We think that Sargsyan is not able to keep party secrets. She
has started destroying the party," Galstyan said.
(The main part of SDHP supporters live abroad, and have a branching
structure among the communities in the Armenian Diaspora. In 2008,
the party moved to a radical oppositional position, the main initiator
of which was Chairwoman Sargsyan.)
At a press conference on December 17 Sargsyan called the session
(held the previous day, when she was dismissed) illegal.
"If anyone dare introduce himself or herself as member of the [party's]
Armenia governing body or chairman/chairwoman of the party, then
he/she must end up in court. On January 9, 2010, the next session of
the party will take place. It will elect the governing body of the
party, and those who will try to argue its decision, will also end
up in court," she said.
Sargsyan also reported that three members of their party are dismissed
from SDHP (including Galstyan).
