Why did the presidential candidate Levon Ter-Petrosyan visit Moscow
in the last week of the presidential campaign? On February 13 the
reporters asked Stepan Safaryan, expert, secretary of the parliamentary
faction of the Heritage Party, to comment on this visit. He underlined
that what he was going to say was his personal opinion, the opinion
of an expert.
According to Stepan Safaryan, Levon Ter-Petrosyan’s invitation to
Moscow was a reaction to the breakthrough in the political life of the
Armenian society caused by the huge rally held by Levon Ter-Petrosyan
on February 9. Stepan Safaryan thinks Russia’s interest might stem
from the immense Russian capital investments in Armenia and problems
that may occur. Besides, the expert Stepan Safaryan thinks by inviting
Levon Ter-Petrosyan to Moscow Russia in fact reacted to the information
revealed during the rally on February 9 relating to the history of
settlement of the Karabakh conflict.
The expert says perhaps necessity for consultation and precision has
occurred, which might be the reason for Levon Ter-Petrosyan’s visit
to Moscow.
