/PanARMENIAN.Net/ ANC supporters meeting at Matenadaran Institute of
Ancient manuscripts was completed. Traditionally, the last person to
deliver a speech was ANC Leader Levon Ter-Petrosyan. He took a slam at
external and internal policies of current authorities, activities of
Diaspora and international organizations.
Dwelling on Armenian-Turkish rapprochement, Ter-Petrosyan noted that
while being in power, they also supported opening of borders with
Turkey and NKR conflict settlement, but not at the expense of
one-sided concessions in Genocide and NKR issues. Meanwhile, the ANC
Leader noted that normalization of Armenian-Turkish ties and NKR issue
settlement is the only condition to be observed for further economic
development of RA.
Levon Ter-Petrosyan criticized Armenian Diaspora, accusing them of
supporting Serzh Sargsyan, and forgetting the times they promoted his
rise to power.
`They’re accusing him today, without acknowledging that they’re the
ones to blame,’ he noted.
He also expressed his negative approach to Western policy towards
Armenia. He accused them of indifference to the state of democracy and
human rights in the country and fates of people who’re now under
arrest.
Touching upon internal political struggle in Armenia, Levon
Ter-Petrosyan noted that ARF Dashnaktsutyun and Prosperous Armenia are
only imitating political struggle. In reality they’re preparing
grounds for the return of Robert Kotcharyan to power.
In conclusion he said that oncoming elections are not a `matter of
life and death’. To him, they are a chance to improve current
unbearable situation.
