ANOTHER MISTAKE ASCRIBED TO TER-PETROSYAN
[04:35 pm] 15 January, 2008
Although the leaders of the `Armenian Volunteers’
Unity’ public initiative Zhirayr Sefilyan and Vardan
Malkhasyan are imprisoned, they are actively engaged
in the political processes in Armenia. Today, the
Movement officially announced that it supports the RA
First President Levon Ter-Petrosyan.
Armen Yeghyan, member of the Movement’s Board, said to
`A1+’: `Following Levon Ter-Petrosyan’s activities
started from 21 September 2007, we are certain that he
has come with new initiatives and is concerned with
the country’s destiny. You feel truth, decisiveness,
wisdom in his speech. It is obvious that the First
President has become the vital and the unique factor
of the Armenians to get rid of the current
authorities’ regime and to consolidate various layers
of the society’.
Armen Yeghyan is confirmed that Ter-Petrosyan’s
pan-national movement will get more powerful with the
support of each RA citizen. `Today the greatest
opposition resource is in Ter-Petrosayan’s hands, I
mean the nation. If Ter-Petrosyan fails during the
elections, it will mean that he does not have enough
will and decisiveness. We feel that decisiveness today
and we will follow it’.
Armen Yeghyan pointed out that they used to criticize
Ter-Petrosyan in the past: `But today the situation
has altered and each of us realizes the national
responsibility and should have his input in the
upcoming fight’.
`Realizing, that our spiritual and moral ideas to
build Armenia differ from Ter-Petrosyan’s approaches
and programs, we will support him, since we are
confirmed that after getting rid of the present
anti-Armenian administration we will be able to carry
out our ideological objectives. We appeal to all
patriots to unite around the First President and
actively participate his pan-national movement’, said
Armen Yeghyan.
Reflecting on the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict
settlement, Yeghyan noted: `Our approaches differ from
Ter-Petrosyan’s approaches in Karabakh conflict
settlement. We are against returning a mile to
Azerbaijan, but we priorities the efforts directed to
the settlement of domestic situation at the moment’.
Armen Yeghyan noted that Ter-Petrosyan programs were
satisfactory for them. Volunteers’ are inspired by
Ter-Petrosyan’s declaration that his greatest mistake
was inviting Robert Kocharyan and Serge Sargsyan to
Armenia. He also ascribed another mistake to
Ter-Petrosyan: `Ter-Petrosyan should not have
resigned. Who did he give his power? He should have
left the power to the nation not to this group of
bandits’, pointed out Yeghyan.
