Vahan Hovhannisyan: "I have reasons to disbelieve RPA."

Armenian Revolutionary Federation (Dashnaktsutyun, ARF) Bureau member, leader of the ARF faction Vahan Hovhannisyan does not believe the slogan of the ruling Republican Party of Armenia (RPA) - "Believe, to change."

"I have reasons to disbelieve RPA. Faith is a moral category. I believe in God and not state figures. If I see that they [state figures] also believe in God, I shall be able to trust them," said Mr Hovhannisyan.

Comparing the pre-election period with that of 2007, the ARF senior official said ‘expectations have increased this year.'

I feel some intrigue ahead of the elections. Some forces rely on external pressure while others rely on inter-party contradictions," said Mr Hovhannisyan.

With regard to his party, the ARF member said they hope that people will eventually get tired of foreign pressures and conflicts within the government and take their destiny in their hands.
