“After 1998 the Armenian National Movement was self-isolated from politics and the society overall. It can hardly be considered a party any more,” say political scientist Hrachya Galstyan. He also stated, “The other affiliations such as the ARF and the Communistic Parties are also archaic and they are fading away. I wish this process gets faster and they disappear from politics. I don’t want to mention any names. I am only referring to their ideologies.”
