Armenian opposition leader, former president Levon Ter-Petrosian
claims that incumbent President Serzh Sarkisian has agreed to return
to Azerbaijan Upper (Nagorno) Garabagh, an Azerbaijani region under
Armenian occupation.
Ter-Petrosian told reporters that the only way “to rescue Garabagh“
is to achieve resignation of the incumbent president as soon as
possible.
According to him, the Armenian authorities have taken a step backward,
succumbing to Western pressure.
“They have relinquished the claims on genocide [the 1915 alleged
genocide in the Ottoman Empire] and they will now give up
Garabagh. After that, these authorities will be of no use even for the
West,“ Ter-Petrosian concluded.
