LEVON TER-PETROSIAN'S INTERVIEW TO RIA-NOVOSTI
AZG Armenian Daily
14/02/2008
Presidential elections
To the question "Why has the former president returned to
politics?" Levon Ter-Petrosian mentioned, "for all the values that we
were struggling in 1990s today are distorted and the country is on
the wrong way. I mean the geopolitical situation that didn't become
better, and Armenia's economic and political isolation has deepened
during the last 10 years".
Touching upon the Karabakh issue the former RA president mentioned,
"...Status quo is a correlation of forces for me. The situation is
not the same as it was 10 years ago. Today Azerbaijan develops due
to oil-dollars, and consequently it has both political consequences
and strengthening of armed forces".
Though Levon Ter-Petrosian carries conviction that today Azerbaijani
armed forces cannot solve the problem, he insists, "Azerbaijani future
progress and Armenia's slow development is a fact".
At the end of the interview he mentioned, "If the authorities declare
their results of elections, we will protest it by every legal means:
permanent demonstrations, rallies, court cases and pressure on
international observers".
