“We have no desire to act as mediators in diarchy," ARF Bureau representative Hrant Margaryan said during the 31st ARF Congress in Yerevan. "We are against exposing the country to shocks. Security and external challenges require political stability and national solidarity. On the other hand, no one has exhausted his constitutional right to fight because it is impossible and pointless to live in an independent state and destroy it, ignore the imperatives of its security," said Hrant Margaryan. "We are also blamed for not uniting with the opposition Armenian National Congress (ANC)? But why should we unite with the ANC? Do they expect us to unite and replace Serzh Sargsyan with Levon Ter-Petrosyan, to return the years of intolerance and cynicism? That will be a mere change of personalities. It does not matter which of them – Serzh Sargsyan or Ter-Petrosyan governs the country. What is the difference between them? Why should we make a choice between these two?" said the ARF representative. "Anyway, I think it appropriate to say that we are ready to cooperate with all forces on any question if they have definite plans and agenda," Margaryan concluded. The ARF member offers a way out of the situation. "The best of us who can protect the law and hinder fraudsters, should take measures to prevent the reproduction of the authorities. We shall soon begin to recruit volunteers regardless of their political views and moral responsibilities. We call on everyone to cooperate with us in an attempt to stop election fraud."
