ARF Ready to Support New Government; Armenuhi Kyureghyan Will Replace Vardanyan
YEREVAN (A.W.)—The Armenian Revolutionary Federation (ARF) has "no expectations" in terms of ministerial portfolios in the new government, which is likely to be formed by opposition Member of Parliament and leader of the protests that led to Prime Minster (PM) Serge Sarkisian’s resignation Nikol Pashinyan.

It’s very nice that the ARF supports Pashinyan now, but because of their backing the Republican Party my feeling is that they have lost support among the people in general. My question is, what will the ARF do NOW to try and win support, gain people’s faith in them and return to what the ARF has been for so many of us in the diaspora all these years.
Without ARF support NP couldn’t have been elected as PM. Smart move by ARF to support the will of the people and love of country as always.
People have completely misjudged the ARF out of their shortsightedness I think. The ARF not being a major party in Armenia, they did the best they could to ensure that the nation remains stable without engaging in needless ugly conflict and bloodshed. That’s why they largely remained on the sidelines until now, supporting the existing government, so long as that government wasn’t doing anything contrary to the interests of Armenians in general, not only in Armenia. Perhaps now, the youth will be more accepting on the ideas of the ARF, instead of that ridiculous Soviet false history and lies being taught against the ARF all these years. Even though anti-ARF sentiment still exists in Armenia and will not go away any time soon, at least now there is light at the end of the tunnel.
