TER-PETROSYAN’S RAPED POLITICAL CAPITAL

Lragir, Armenia
July 31 2007

The leader of the Christian Democratic Party, who was prime minister
for several months under the ex-president Levon Ter-Petrosyan,
stated July 31 in answer to Lragir.am’s question that he disagrees
to statements that Levon Ter-Petrosyan can be the only ideological
and political alternative to this government. The teammates of the
first president of Armenia claim Levon Ter-Petrosyan is "the only
candidate" who remain members of the All Armenian Movement or have
affiliated with other organizations.

Khosrov Harutiunyan not only disagrees with the team of the
ex-president but also think that they have wasted, "raped Levon
Ter-Petrosyan’s political capital and contribution." Khosrov
Harutiunyan says the society is definitely dissatisfied with Levon
Ter-Petrosyan’s government and himself, which occurred not due to Levon
Ter-Petrosyan but his team, and this dissatisfaction is with his team.

In answer to the question on the expediency of the return of
Levon Ter-Petrosyan, Khosrov Harutiunyan says his opinion on the
first president might be subjective but the leader of the Christian
Democratic Union says the contribution of Levon Ter-Petrosyan to the
modern history of Armenia and state building and his great experience
must be acknowledged. However, Khosrov Harutiunyan thinks the opinion
that Levon Ter-Petrosyan is the only alternative to this government
is a slap in the face of people because he thinks the Armenian people
have a greater potential.
