(REGNUM) - One of founders of the World Armenian Congress (WAC) Armenian Ramkavar Azatakan Party (ARAP) announced about its leaving the abovementioned organization. According to a party statement released on November 20, initially the ARAP enthusiastically appreciated prospect of establishing such organization.
According to the statement, it became disappointed soon with chaotic and irresponsible functioning of the WAC. In particular, leadership of the ARAP repeatedly requested leadership of the WAC to submit a report on its functioning. It has not received yet such report; it is said in the statement. In that connection, the ARAP central governing body stated that it did not account for the WAC functioning, as well as for functioning and publications of the Azg newspaper which was handed over to another owner against the party's wish and without its agreement whereas all party efforts to change the false order remained fruitless, reports Trend.
It is worth stressing; the WAC was founded in 2003 when parliamentary elections were conducted in Armenia. Brother of the WAC Chairman and Russian Armenian Union (RAU) Chairman Ara Abramyan Gagik Abramyan was nominated according to the ARAP party lists; however, the ARAP did not manage to overcome the 5% barrier. Gagik Abramyan stated recently that he was going to participate in parliamentary elections again; however, he gave it to understand that he was not going to cooperate with the ARAP. In his turn, Ara Abramyan stated on November 20 that importance of political sympathies of the RAU should not be overestimated. However, at present, we need to familiarize ourselves with election programs of Armenian political parties, the RAU chairman stated adding that decision on contributing to any political party in Armenia might be made in collective way during discussions in frameworks of the RAU and the WAC.
