Armenia's first president Levon Ter-Petrosyan has expressed concern over the political crisis in Armenia, his spokesperson Arman Musinyan reported.

"The first president of Armenia Levon Ter-Petrosyan is deeply concerned about the escalating developments in the struggle for power which may lead to a civil war prompted by an accidental offense or a provocation, irrespective of the will of the conflicting parties. That will be the end of not only Artsakh but the Armenian statehood," Musinyan conveyed the first president's thoughts. 

At the same time, Levon Ter-Petrosyan has expressed hope that Nikol Pashinyan and the candidate for the PM's post from the united opposition Vazgen Manukyan will exert every effort to avoid such developments.
