The leader of the Armenian National Congress Levon Ter-Petrosyan
during the oppositional rally on June 1, presented Robert Kocharyan’s
and Serge Sargsyan’s ideas on a state.

He stated that the state of their dreams is one without opposition,
political parties, a state of obedient people. And as Ter-Petrosyan
stated they have been trying to establish this kind of state for 11
years, if they needed to rig elections they did it, if they needed
to take up violence against the voters, they did it, if they needed
to shoot the opositiona l supporters, they did it.

Levon Ter-Petrosyan stated that if this opposition lacked, the ARF
Dashnaktsutyun and the OYP could only dream to become a part of the
colaition. If this opposition lacked, Vazgen Manuyan could never
become the president of the Public Council.

Levon Ter-Petrosyan stated that the opposition is the material,
which enables the government to manoeuvre in the foreign policy, he
added that he had never seen any document to be presented to Serge
Sargsyan and the latter did not sign it. But he could get used of
the opposition and say that if he signs this or that document, while
being back to Armenia, the oposition will kill him.
