    Claims about ARFD leaving opposition field groundless, rep says

    MP from Armenian Revolutionary Federation-Dashnaktsutyun does not
    agree with the claims that with its behavior the ARFD seems to retreat
    from its preparedness to unite over joint opposition candidate at the
    upcoming 2013 presidential elections.

    `I do not know which statement or steps have left such impression but
    we have said and continue repeating that we do not discuss personality
    issue in this phase, it relates to everyone, we are discussing program
    provisions and platform issues,' he said speaking to Tert.am.

    Repeating the idea of party colleagues, Minasyan said if there is no
    consolidation over forwarded provisions, the issue of personality
    cannot be considered a priority.

    He stressed that they have initially stated about readiness to discuss
    their 7-point platform with any political force, including with the
    Republican party. `We have said we are open for discussion. Our chief
    goal is to get out of the situation,' he stressed.

    The ARFD MP said they have transferred the discussion of the issue to
    the civil society field and got positive response not only from
    certain political forces but the civil sector as well.

    `Why they want to create such an impression and forward such
    premeditated viewpoints I do not know. We say first of all is
    consolidation over programs,' he said.

    By the way, the ARFD has not joined the Armenian National Congress
    (ANC) signature gathering for applying to the Constitutional Court to
    discuss the unconstitutionality of boycotting extraordinary sitting by
    the ruling Republican party.

    On December 8 ARFD Bureau representative Hrant Margaryan and ARFD
    Supreme Body representative Armen Rustamyan met with the Armenian
    President Serzh Sargsyan and discussed the ARFD's proposed seven-point
    platform and agreed to continue consultations.
