Addressing February 28 the participants of the popular movement
who gathered at the Square of Freedom on the eighth day, the first
president of Armenia Levon Ter-Petrosyan spoke about the attitude
of the world toward the movement and said he would like to single
out Russia.
According to Levon Ter-Petrosyan, Russia has a very serious position
among the great powers. According to Ter-Petrosyan, Russia is facing
a dilemma which has occurred on the basis of the activities, analyses
and conclusions of the Russian strategic analytical centers. According
to Levon Ter-Petrosyan, the dilemma is the following: either Russia
protects the regime in Armenia and loses the trust of the Armenian
people, which will be a major loss for Russia, or Russia supports
the Armenian people and the Armenian democratic process and thereby
acquires a highly valuable strategic partner.
Levon Ter-Petrosyan reminded that Russia has the experience of Ukraine
and Georgia, and is now conducting a very serious and up-to-date
international policy. "I believe that Russia will make the right
decision," Levon Ter-Petrosyan stated.
