Answering to a question whether the actions they organized during the war are not like the actions that Sefilyan wants to organize now, which they say may be harmful for the state, ARF bureau representative, NA vice-speaker Vahan Hovhannisyan said, “If the ARF did not organize rallies, we wouldn’t win the war”. According to “A1+”, concerning this announcement member of “Republic” party Smbat Ajvazyan said, “All what Vahan Hovhannisyan said is foolish. When they were organizing rallies in Yerevan we didn’t have fighters in Karabakh”. S. Ajvazyan also says that if the ARF manages to change its policy connected with Karabakh, they’d be better to be closed generally.
