LEVON TER-PETROSYAN WILL CHANGE REPUBLICAN STRATEGY
Lragir, Armenia

"Today Levon Ter-Petrosyan is not just a leader of a political party.
He is the first president of Armenia. He is a political phenomenon,
and the reality is largely thanks to Levon Ter-Petrosyan." These three
sentences were uttered by the Republican member of parliament Galust
Sahakyan on August 15 at the Pastark Club. The reporters asked his
opinion about the likely nomination of Levon Ter-Petrosyan and assess
Serge Sargsyan’s chance for success in this context.
"I feel uneasy when the political forces manipulate Levon
Ter-Petrosyan’s name today. He is a sensible and practical activist
and he can express his opinion," Galust Sahakyan says. He says
the approach that Levon Ter-Petrosyan has no right to run in the
presidential election of 2008 is too romantic. According to Galust
Sahakyan, if Ter-Petrosyan were likely to run in the election, some
political team would have prepared ground two or three years ahead.
However, the head of the Republican faction says Ter-Petrosyan’s
nomination will make them change their strategy. However, according
to Galust Sahakyan, the outcome of the election will not change.
