    4TH HAY DAT FORUM GETS UNDERWAY IN YEREVAN

    The 4th Hay Dat forum, featuring representatives of 25 Armenian
    National Committees from 18 countries, kicked off in Yerevan today.

    The three-day forum aims to work out the action plan for the coming
    two years, taking into consideration the strategy of the ARF Hay Dat.

    Member of the ARF Bureau, head of the ARF faction of the National
    Assembly Vahn Hovhannisyan said the most important issue for the
    party is the Armenian Cause, all others are side questions.

    According to Hovhannisyan, parliamentary diplomacy has become more
    active over the past ten years. He noted that despite short history
    of parliamentary diplomacy, Armenian delegations are represented
    in Parliamentary Assemblies of the Council of Europe, OSCE, NATO,
    Euronest, CIS, etc.

    The issues Armenian parliamentary diplomacy faces include the economic
    situation in Armenia, recognition of the Armenian Genocide and the
    Nagorno Karabakh Republic. Vahan Hovhannisyan says the three must
    not be separated and it's necessary to find a formula to present the
    three issues in a single package.

    He advised the representatives of Hay Dat Offices to continue their
    activity in the key aspect of foreign policy irrespective of the fact
    to what extent the foreign policy of Armenia is dear to the Armenian
    Revolutionary Federation. "Hay Dat Offices must work so as if the
    foreign policy has been developed by them," Hovhannisyan added.

    Vahan Hovhannisyan further advised to pay greater attention to
    resolutions adopted by different structures. "Although they may
    seem harmless at first sight, they may pursue long-term objectives,"
    he added.

    Representative of the Armenian National Committee of Jerusalem Hakob
    Sevan noted that the Armenian-Turkish protocols were a great blow to
    their efforts of putting the genocide issue on the Knesset agenda.

    However, they continue working and hope to succeed.
