A leader of the Armenian Revolutionary Federation (Dashnaktsutyun), on Monday accused unspecified "external forces" of trying to spread discord in the opposition party and thus weaken it following its poor showing in the recent parliamentary elections.
Hrant Markarian, the de facto head of the party's governing Bureau, claimed that those forces are behind media reports saying that many Dashnaktsutyun members are now angry with their leadership.
According to the official election results, Dashnaktsutyun won roughly 5.5 percent of the vote, just enough to retain presence in the new Armenian parliament under the system of proportional representation. The party won only 5 parliament seats, sharply down from 16 seats it held in the last National Assembly.
