    I always laugh when I am reminded that the Republican party of Armenia supposedly follows Njdeh's ideology. Njdeh for much of his life was a Dashnak ironically and his idea of tseghakron is what led to the founding of the Armenian Youth Federation (AYF), the youth branch of the Dashnaktsutyun. Tseghakron (nation-religion) is more about turning the Armenian national identity into a religion itself than a belief in God. I have no idea how the RPA applies this.
    Njdeh eventually left the ARF because it became what it is today, which is but a mere shadow of what it once was. Many Dashnaks during Njdeh's time were also national socialists, but of course that ideology has been shunned since the defeat of Germany in 1945.
    For the first time in more than 600 years, Armenia is free and independent, and we are therefore obligated
    to place our national interests ahead of our personal gains or aspirations.

      Hey look everyone ARF has finely figured something out and might actually do something useful just before the last Armenian leaves Armenia.

      ARF LAUNCHES "WE WILL LIVE IN OUR COUNTRY" PROGRAM

      September 17, 2013 | 12:29

      YEREVAN. - Armenia's opposition ARF Dashnaktsutyun Party is starting
      the "We will Live in Our Country" program, whose objective is to stop
      emigration from the country.

      ARF Supreme Body member and ARF National Assembly Faction leader Armen
      Rustamyan noted the aforesaid during a press conference on Tuesday.

      He stressed that stopping emigration forthwith is indispensable for
      Armenia's future.

      "Proceeding from this, the ARF is working on this program for several
      months; we have held serious discussions. Now, it is necessary to
      start a new phase, a new stage," Rustamyan said.

      He noted that emigration is a complex problem, and the problems that
      cause emigration need to be addressed. As per the opposition MP,
      Armenia's present-day political system does not enable to address
      these problems immediately, and the reason is the, "similitude of
      the ruling party and the state."

      "We are losing blood, and we cannot allow it to result in a complete
      blood loss. And the organism is our country, our state, our homeland,"
      Rustamyan stated.

      He noted that it will be wrong to wait for the materialization of
      the plan for a power change, and that is why it is necessary to
      take priority steps. As per Armen Rustamyan, ARF Dashnaktsutyun
      has summarized all this in seven points, and the latter are the
      "prescription" for solving the accumulated problems.
