Levon Ter-Petrosyan has sent an open letter to Serzh Sargsyan relating
to the centenary of the Armenian Genocide. Levon Ter-Petrosyan thinks
that this issue should be above all domestic skirmishes. He suggests
them to meet for the interests of the cause, set up a commission which
will define the stance of Armenia on the Genocide. Ter-Petrosyan is
ready to personally participate in the activities of this commission.
24 April 2015 is gradually becoming the core of political developments
not only in the region and the world but also Armenia. So far, as if
by some decree, this issue was pushed to the background, and domestic
scramble and other secondary issues were in the focus.
When Serzh Sargsyan recalled the Armenian-Turkish protocols from
the parliament, it became obvious that the process is moving along
another path, and Armenia is ready to put forth serious claims to
Turkey together with several international forces. So far this process
has been torpedoed but at some point the Armenian leadership realized
that little depends on it, and they cannot miss the train.
In this situation, in order to remain adequate, every politician in
Armenia must participate in the process of Armenian claims to Turkey.
The Armenian presidents need to stand side by side on April 24. The
one who will prefer to be in another place will be perceived in a
different light.
It is not accidental that after Serzh Sargsyan had recalled the
protocols Ter-Petrosyan wrote a letter to him. The day before Robert
Kocharyan held a peaceful interview on persecution against Tsarukyan,
without blaming Serzh Sargsyan and destroying bridges.
Now Levon Ter-Petrosyan and Robert Kocharyan need to restore the
bridges with Serzh Sargsyan right away. They did not attend the
pan-Armenian meeting where the Pan-Armenian Resolution was adopted,
and it only highlighted that the ex-presidents are not actual. Perhaps
they have also realized this and decided to run after the train headed
for April 24.
It is obvious that Armenia can get not only international recognition
of the genocide but also Karabakh and by the Western countries. Even
the Founding Parliament refrained from speaking about April 24 in
its recent statement announcing about the crucial need to leave the
Eurasian Economic Union and systemic reforms.
