Ivanishvili or Renat Akhmetov, is he?!

Armenia will join the Customs Union and will hardly integrate into
Europe in the near future. This is the reality we must accept, the
leader of the Armenian National Congress (ANC), the first President of
Armenia Levon Ter-Petriosyan said at an ANC rally in Liberty Square on
Saturday.
"The problem here is that we need a government that will make best of
the opportunities the Customs Union will offer. I don't think that
Serzh Sargsyan and his team can do it. They don't care for our
national interests. They are not our native government but a group of
occupants who have usurped power in Armenia. Sargsyan is no longer
reputed as a serious partner in the world. So, we need drastic changes
so as to improve our reputation," Ter-Petrosyan said.
Ter-Petrosyan believes that each new day of Sargsyan's stay in power
is a new loss for Armenia and Nagorno-Karabakh. "So, it is time for
him to resign and for us to elected a new reliable and serious leader.
I think it is high time for us to change the government. Never before
have our people hated the government as strongly as they do now.
Sargsyan himself admitted it," Ter-Petrosyan said, implying Sargsyan's
last statement that 80% of people in Armenia are against the pension
reform.
Ter-Petrosyan is glad to see that civil society in Armenia is becoming
stronger and that the parliamentary groups of Armenian National
Congress, Prosperous Armenia, ARFD and Heritage are beginning to
cooperate. "The last statement by the leader of Prosperous Armenia
Gagik Tsarukyan was quite symptomatic in this respect. I don't think
that Tsarukyan is worse than Bidzina Ivanishvili who peacefully
changed the government in Georgia or Renat Akhmetov who prevented
Yanukovich from imposing a state of emergency in Ukraine. I think that
it is good time for us to change the government. Simply, we must
consider the best way to do it. The ANC is ready to cooperate with all
forces. I hope that next time we will be here with some other parties.
This rally may give start to a serious process," Ter-Petrosyan said.
