ArmInfo. The position of the ARF "Dashnaktsutyun" regarding Aghvan Vardanyan is clear - he must give up his mandate, and he has already done it. Armen Rustamyan, the head of the ARF faction "Dashnaktsutyun" stated in an interview with journalists on May 3.
Asked whether it is possible that Vardanyan was also expelled from the party, Rustamyan said that there is no such decision yet, but it is not ruled out.
Touching upon the party's withdrawal from the coalition, the head of the ARF faction stated that this was not a betrayal. "The coalition existed as long as the memorandum was valid, in the case of force majeure circumstances, this memorandum may or may not work. Secondly, we have an independent position, but we could not follow it, as the memorandum restricted us. They did not intend to obey the will of the Republican Party with closed eyes, especially since it was obvious to us that they did not always follow their own approaches. "Dashnaktsutyun is not the party that agrees to be someone's application," Rustamyan concluded.
