ArmInfo. ‘By his speech on 21 September the first Armenian president
Levon Ter-Petrosyan sent a "message" to international structure with a
hope to get support’, – the leader of Christian and Democratic Union
Khosrof Harutyunyan told journalists in Hayatsk club today.

He also added that the basis of the political and public support of
the ex-president is limited. Many people hoped that after ten years
of silence he will first of all and directly say where he made a
mistake when staying in the power.

He also added that Ter-Petrosyan’s speech served only to fuel
and this may lead to falling of the level of political fight and
its contents. Asked by ArmInfo correspondent if the culture of the
political fight in Armenia was at a high level before Ter-Petrosyan’s
speech, Harutyunyan replied that after Ter-Petrosyan’s breaking
silence, the front-runners of the electoral campaign and their
supporters started talking to each other in an unacceptable language.

He also emphasized that to ensure stable development of the country one
should do everything possible to avoid aggravation of the situation.

Speaking about the prospect of another "orange" revolution at the
post-Soviet territory, in Armenia Khosrof Harutyunyan foreign meddling
in the situation in Armenia is dangerous. ‘But I cannot connect Levon
Ter-Petrosyan’s returning to the active politics with a prospect of
the "orange" revolution development. I cannot say so’, – the leader
of the Christian and Democratic Union Khosrof Harutyunyan specified.
