Leader of opposition bloc Armenian National Congress (or HAK) has
downplayed Armenia's achievements during 20 years of independence,
saying the country is facing almost the same problem as 20 years ago.
Speaking at a reception Wednesday dedicated to the Independence Day,
Levon Ter-Petrosyan said that the Armenian people need now to re-take
their independence from the ruling leadership.
"Twenty years after the independence we are facing almost the same
problem: today we must re-conquer our independence," said he.
According to the HAK leader, Armenia's current leadership do not
consider themselves independent at the bottom of their heart, but
rather what he called "slaves of others".
"And we will not have independence unless Armenia gets rid of them,"
said he. "Therefore, you are the chance to again re-conquer our
independence."
Further, he said that some people who have nothing to do with the
independence, and have reversely been against it, deliver speeches
from various platforms as if independence is their achievement.
Those people, Ter-Petrosyan continued, are desecrating the notion
of independence.
