Armenian Revolutionary Federation

I doubt anyone believes the ARF is all evil. But you did leave out a big part of the picture. They've been a part of the government for years now, and it is still the same fucked up, corrupt, election-stealing, murder condoning, shitty government as ever. They are a part of it. Let me repeat, they are a part of it.

So when dozens or hundreds of Armenians are dying at the border every year, this is a serious problem obviously - though it's not all in our control. But when tens of thousands leave every year because the illegitimate and corrupt government destroyed the economy, opportunity, and any hope for a future... our own government is the greatest danger our nation faces today. I may have mentioned that... the ARF is a part of it. And I'm not willing to hear any nonsense about "working from the inside" all these years. Absolutely not interested. If the ARF wants to clean it's name it needs to either fix these problems immediately, or push immediately for regime change. You know. The REVOLUTION that is in their name. The revolution that they are afraid of and no longer support now that they have some token power in the Armenian government...

Sorry. That's how I see it. That's how many of us see it. The ARF's participation in the government has been self-serving, as is arguably maintaining a second Holy See now that communists no longer control Echmiadzin and there is no longer an excuse to have two competing Armenian churches in the West.
