Social Democrat Hunchak Party is a constructive opposition in Armenia - Varazdat Yeghiazaryan

Question

Mr. Yeghiazaryan, can you first tell us what position you hold in the Social Democratic Hnchakian Party?

Answer:

- Varazdat Yeghiazaryan, member of the Hunchakyan party's governing body in Armenia

Question

Mr. Yeghiazaryan, during our initial meeting, you stated that the Social-Democratic Honchagyan Party considers itself a constructive opposition, both in the political field and in meetings of revolutionary forces, would you like to comment?

Answer:

Hnchakyan party is an opposition and is included in the extra-parliamentary opposition. Hnchagian party has always expressed its opinion on various political issues. We have disagreements and we voice our opinions during the session, and accordingly we get answers to the questions that concern us for the benefit of the citizen and the establishment of RA statehood. The Republic of Armenia is the priority for us.

We have different opinions, but we do not voice those opinions on the street, because today the state is not in a position for us to try to weaken the foundations of the state. We voice our different opinions in various meetings, in our press and in our face-to-face meetings and extra-parliamentary meetings. Our whole problem is as follows.

To be a constructive opposition,

To help the Republic of Armenia in establishing state institutions. Regardless of who will be the head of the country at that moment, support so that the country gets out of this chaos. It is an overarching goal for the SDHP, because the party was created for the sake of an independent RA state and many friends were martyred for that idea. And we are obliged to do everything to preserve the statehood of the Republic of Armenia.

Question

How do you assess the protest movement of the forces within the parliament, their demonstrations and activities on the streets of Yerevan?

Answer:
To be honest, I would not like to evaluate the parliamentary opposition. Judging by the reaction of the people and the public, it is clear that they did not achieve the goals they had set. The people understand very well why these situations or the steps of the opposition are taking place.

Question

Mr. Yeghiazaryan, when I came to my homeland, I noticed the same approach and mentality that I saw in Lebanon, people do not show tolerance, everyone supports a certain political view and does not tend to listen to the other side, people do not communicate to understand each other, what is your personal point of view? on this topic

Answer:

- There are always disagreements in different countries when the foundations of statehood are disturbed, similar situations arise after chaos, that is, wars, explosions, etc., any event that disturbs the foundations of statehood. And during that period, political forces appear that try to manipulate for their own benefit. But after the war, we went through a very difficult test, and after all that, the people remained in their opinion and trusted the same political force again. And the people proved that they are stable and the owner of their decision.

Question

My friends who came to Armenia from Syria and Lebanon tell me that the Social Democrat Hnchakian Party helped them a lot to settle in Armenia. Can you tell me a little and explain why they feel such gratitude to H. Hnchak party

Answer:

- During the events in Syria,
The Hnchakian Party took upon itself a great responsibility and opened a school with Syrian educational standards, where our compatriots studied, regardless of party views. It was important for us not to interrupt the educational process of the children. There were many applications to the Armenian office on many issues. Our friends helped with documentation and a number of other issues.

Question

Mr. Yeghiazaryan, when I visited the headquarters of the party several times in the last two years, I encountered a very interesting and beautiful phenomenon: Armenians of three different origins, Western Armenians, Lebanese Armenians, Syrian Armenians, as well as local Eastern Armenians, are harmoniously mixing, united, was it difficult to achieve a unified harmony? at this level from three different cultural backgrounds?

Answer:

- The ideas of our compatriots from the diaspora were different, because they lived in another culture, in an atmosphere where the protection of Armenians and Armenian culture became problematic. They came to a country where there was no need to defend, only minor difficulties in integration. At the moment, many of our compatriots are working in various structures and contributing to the country's development.

Do you have anything to add? word fromthe heart?

Of course, I would like Armenians in all corners of the world, our compatriots, to think about the Republic of Armenia and contribute at any cost to the development and improvement of the Republic of Armenia. And I would like the Armenians of Armenia to be united, reasonable and, most importantly, tolerant towards each other, perhaps the most important thing in life is tolerance, by achieving which we will have many successes and victories.

Thank you Mr. Yeghiazaryan
