Armenian Revolutionary Federation Rejects Pashinyan
Nikol Pashinyan, We Reject You
The Central Committee of the Armenian Revolutionary Federation Eastern U.S. issued a statement on June 5, 2026, rejecting Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan ahead of Armenia's parliamentary elections.
The statement, addressed to diaspora Armenians, criticizes Pashinyan on multiple grounds: breaking promises to defend Artsakh, treating Armenian history as negotiable, arresting political dissidents despite campaign promises of democracy, and promoting division over unity. The ARF argues the prime minister has undermined Armenian sovereignty, dignity, and justice for genocide survivors.
The organization states it represents Armenians who prioritize Artsakh as Armenian territory, support for political prisoners, and accountability. The statement emphasizes that Armenia's future should be determined by Armenians throughout the homeland and diaspora, not by a single politician.
