ARF Shant Armenian Student Association
|
The Role of the Armenian Revolutionary Federation "Shant" Student
Association is to bring a higher level of political and cultural awareness to
Armenian students within American Universities and institutions of higher learning.
It is our goal to work side by side with the Armenian Student Associations and
other Armenian Student organizations to further the Armenian Cause. Only with the advancement of Armenian issues within the school system can we
stop Turkish attempts at altering history. The "Shant" Student Association
strongly believes in the fact that the time has come for all Armenian students
to come together and take decisive steps to bring the "Armenian Cause"
to the forefront of public attention. In this capacity, the Shant Student Association is a full member of
the Confederation of All-Armenian Student Associations (All-ASA), a body of united Armenian students and works with other Armenian student
organizations in the pursuit of our collective goals.

Armenian Revolutionary Federation
The Armenian Revolutionary Federation was founded in 1890. Ideologically, the ARF
is a nationalistic, socialistic, and democratic organization. Today, the ARF
is represented in the National Assembly of Armenia with 16 parliamentarians. Additionally, the ARF heads the Armenian Republic's Ministries of Education & Science, Labor & Social Affairs, and Agriculture. The ARF is also a full member of the
Socialist International.
The Supreme Goals of the Armenian Revolutionary Federation are:
|
a) The establishment of a free, independent and united Armenia.
b) Armenia must be a democratic and socialistic independent republic.
c) The boundaries of united Armenia must incorporate the territories awarded
to Armenia by the Treaty of Sevres, as well as the regions of Nakhijevan, Javakhk,
and Artsakh.
d) The Armenian people, including its dispersed masses, must assemble on the
territory of independent Armenia.
e) The still unpunished crime of genocide against the Armenian people must be
condemned and redressed by the return of the occupied territories and by the
just reparation for losses to the Armenian people.
f) The basic law of the Republic of Armenia shall be decided by the constitutional
assembly of Armenia elected on the bases of universal, equal, direct, secret,
and proportional representation. |
