Ahead of the Supreme Assembly of the ARF Dashnaktsutyun Party, ARFD has faced serious infighting over the candidature of the ARFD Bureau representative, a Yerevan-based "Hraparak" newspaper writes.
At present, ARFD Bureau is represented by Hrant Margaryan, but Vigen Hovsepyan of ARFD Central Committee in Western America, is after that post, the paper writes. Dashnaks of Armenia support Margaryan's candidature, while Dashnaks in other countries support Hovsepyan. The paper writes that ARFD representatives abroad say they work more efficiently than those in Armenia. They say that the in the events timed to the centennial of the Armenian Genocide in Ottoman Turkey ARFD must have more important part than the government. Meanwhile ARFD is so far very passive in that issue," the paper writes.
