In his speech in the Liberty Square on March 1, Levon Ter-Petrosyan
threatened Moscow to yield the Square to the pro-Western forces,
unless Russia supports him, Stepan Safaryan, Head of the Armenian
Institute for International Security, told reporters, Thursday.
He thinks both the Prosperous Armenia Party and Armenian National
Congress supported the country's accession to the Eurasian Economic
Union. After the pro-Russian Prosperous Armenia Party was "liquidated,"
ANC has been beset with fear. This is what made Ter-Petrosyan to
announce himself the oppositionist number one and openly threaten
Moscow to give the Square to the adversaries of Russia and Putin.
Safaryan is sure that Levon Ter-Petrosyan made a hasty step by
proclaiming himself "the opposition king" given his decreasing
resources. Safaryan is sure that ANC will not overcome the 5% threshold
to the parliament in 2017.
Levon Ter-Petrosyan, the first president of Armenia, the leader of
the Armenian National Congress, said at the March 1 rally in Liberty
Square: "Armenian National Congress (ANC) has refuses from all the 15
rallies that were scheduled till April 24." He said ANC is ready to
grant all the days of the sanctioned rallies to the political forces
that blame ANC for 'privatizing' the Liberty Square. Ter-Petrosyan said
ANC and he personally look to unmask all the pseudo- oppositionists
that try to bribe the opposition public and help the incumbent
authorities retain power. In this light, Ter- Petrosyan pointed at
the Founding Parliament. "The ANC members are happy to assist the
new Babel builders, if their intentions are sincere.
However, I have great doubts about it," he said.
