"PREVIOUS POWER WAS NOT CONCENTRATED PYRAMID," LEVON TER-PETROSIAN SAYS

YEREVAN, NOVEMBER 7, NOYAN TAPAN. The previous power was not a
concentrated pyramid, there were serious contradictions, and in
addition to this, each was a political figure: Vazgen Sargsian, Vano
Siradeghian, and others, who could not obey resignedly. Even if any
of them pretended for building such a pyramid, he could not have. This
statement was made by Levon Ter-Petrosian, the first President of the
Republic of Armenia, during the meeting with the young held on November
3 in response to the question of how it happened that Robert Kocharian
and Serge Sargsian, who are on the top of the current "robber chief"
pyramid, came to power during his own tenure.

Levon Ter-Petrosian clarified in detail why he brought Serge Sargsian
and Robert Kocharian into Armenia many years ago and now proves
that "they should be said good-bye to." According to him, then
Serge Sargsian "was exiled" from Karabakh, where he had problems,
and was living in Moscow for already a year, as well as cooperating
with Vazgen Sargsian and some of the head officials of Karabakh
with regard to the supply of the army. In the qualification of
Levon Ter-Petrosian, then Serge Sargsian was doing useful and very
important work. "He was a skilful man and was more experienced than
we were, perhaps. He has always worked in the state apparatus and
had organizational capacities. Therefore, we invited him to Armenia,
trusted him the army of Armenia, and, let us be frank, he was a good
minister on all the posts he held: in the bodies of the security,
army,and the police," Levon Ter-Petrosian mentioned. However, in his
words, when too many ambitions arise in a person, the contradiction
of the person and his ambitions already becomes obvious.

Referring to Robert Kocharian, he mentioned that after the 1996 "noisy"
elections, there was a considerable lack of confidence towards the
authorities in Armenia. When inviting Robert Kocharian to Armenia,
Levon Ter-Petrosian took into consideration the circumstance that
he was a neutral personality, who "had not delivered or received
blows in the internal struggles" of Armenia. After being appointed
Prime Minister of the Republic of Armenia, Robert Kocharian, in the
words of Levon Ter-Petrosian, "performed very good work for a year,
very diligently, distinctly and productively." However, he changed
later and, according to the first president, the very changes prove
to be the difference between the previous and current authorities.
