ArmInfo.Azerbaijan and Turkey are heavily engaged in anti- Dashnak propaganda, Ishkhan Saghatelyan, a member of the ARF Executive Council and of the Armenia opposition parliamentary faction, has stated.
According to him, Turkish and Azerbaijani ambassadors and sponsored experts and lobbyists are ordering articles in foreign mass media to discredit the ARF there by trying to restrict the ARF's influence in a number of western countries.
"Their concern can be understood. Baku and Ankara are perfectly aware that the results of the 44-day war in the autumn of 2020 do not reflect the real balance of forces between Armenia and Azerbaijan in the region. They are also perfectly aware that the ARF and healthy forces will never put up with the reality and Armenia will sooner or later regain its footing. So they are concerned," Mr Saghatelyan said.
"The ARF has always been and will continue defending the Armenians' national interests. However hard Erdogan and Aliyev fight against the ARF, we will not turn away from our way toward building a powerful Armenia," Mr Saghatelyan said.
