YEREVAN. - Even though the Armenian National Congress leader Levon
Ter-Petrosyan is a favorite personality of the West, Armenian President
Serzh Sargsyan's positions are fairly good in Armenia and international
arena alike, former FM of Nagorno Karabakh Republic Arman Melikyan
noted during a press conference today.
"In my assessment, however, if Sargsyan continues in office, we will
continue to be buried in this terrible 'swamp.' And if [former Armenian
presidents] Robert Kocharyan and Levon Ter-Petrosyan come to power,
the domestic political situation would become radically intense. That
is why we need to look for a new political generation," Melikyan
maintained, highlighting that either Kocharyan or Ter-Petrosyan would
assist Serzh Sargsyan if they observe that their opponent could come
to power.
"That is to say, Kocharyan would help Sargsyan, against Ter-Petrosyan,
and Ter-Petrosyan would help Sargsyan, against Kocharyan. This means
Serzh Sargsyan is fairly well positioned," the former official stated.
