16:03 / 12/04/2009An atmosphere of confrontation is reigning in
Armenia, Levon Zurabyan, the Coordinator of the Central Office,
Armenian National Congress (ANC), told a press conference on December
4.

According to him, a new situation is only possible after the political
prisoners are released. Commenting on a statement made by Eduard
Sharmazanov, Secretary of the Republican Party of Armenia (RPA), that
in his interview with the Komsomolskaya Pravda newspaper in 1992 the
then Armenian President Levon Ter-Petrosyan stated that
Nagorno-Karabakh should be granted autonomy in Azerbaijan., Zurabyan
said that only diplomatic documents are of importance for him.

`I could answer this question, but it would require revealing some
state secrets, which I am not going to do. I can say one thing for
sure: all the statements Levon Ter-Petrosyan made then were intended
as information and political support for the military operations. Do
you know about the term `information support for military operations’?
I cannot say more. By the way, those statements helped us gain
victory,’ Zurabyan said.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
