WikiLeaks slams Ter-Petrosyan, 'pensions off' all three presidents -
opposition MP
15:30 - 10.09.11
With its recent disclosures, WikiLeaks slammed Armenia's first
president and the leader of the opposition Armenian National Congress
(ANC), Levon Ter-Petrosyan, an opposition MP has said.
Stepan Safaryan, a lawmaker of the opposition Heritage party faction,
told a news conference on Saturday that the whistleblower proved
Ter-Petrosyan had used electoral processes for shaping post-electoral
developments.
"ANC's yesterday's rally proved that Ter-Petrosyan will no longer
stick to his strategy of raising national problems in an attempt to
undermine [incumbent President] Serzh Sargsyan's positions," he said,
adding that the ex-president would prefer to avoid new tensions after
the new disclosures.
Referring to Ter-Petrosyan's yesterday's speech, the MP noted that
being the icumbent leader of the opposition alliance did not say
anything about the current situation in Armenia, and spoke only of
unlawfulness under previous governments.
As for the WikiLeaks disclosures about the three presidents of
Armenia, he added: "They all emerged from the same camp and pursue the
same trends, so with its publications, WikiLeaks "pensions off" all
three of them."
