 BUENOS
AIRES (Armenia)—The regional bodies of the Armenian
Revolutionary Federation of North and South America and
Australia held a conference at the invitation of the ARF Bureau
beginning on Friday to discuss the challenges posed by the
Armenia-Turkey protocols and other organizational issues.
Representatives of the Central Committees of
South America (Argentina, Uruguay and Brazil) Eastern US,
Western US, Canada and Australia heard detailed reports on
recent political situation, especially domestic and foreign
developments surrounding Armenia-Turkey relations.
The participants extensively discussed the
dangers inherent in the Armenia-Turkey protocols and efforts to
halt the approval of the documents. The representatives also
evaluated those efforts and were briefed on the next phase of
this effort.
Underscoring the importance of halting the
approval of the protocols, which have severe consequences and
threats for Armenia and Karabakh and only benefit Turkey’s
regional interests, the participants of the conference
emphasized the imperative to strengthen their activities and
made corresponding suggestions.
The conference also emphasized the importance
of elevating the activities of Hai Tahd offices to expedite
efforts for the recognition of the Armenian Genocide and
countering anti-Armenian activities undertaken by the Turkish
government through Turkish organizations in various communities.
The recent “Roadmap to Regime Change”
proposed by the ARF Supreme Council of Armenia was also
discussed and the conference participants unequivocally endorsed
the plan.
The conference affirmed the need for national
unity to strengthen Armenia’s statehood, as well as the ARF’s
unwavering position to stop any effort to create schism within
the Armenian nation.
The regional representatives also briefed the
conference about the activities of ARF youth organizations, Hai
Tahd office and organizational life and pledged to strengthen
intraregional cooperation.
