Levon Ter-Petrossyan: Azerbaijan should understand that if it attacks
Karabakh, it will be offered rebuff regardless of the domestic
political situation in Armenia
ArmInfo. "In case of Azerbaijan’s military threat against
Nagorno-Karabakh I’ll call on my supporters to suspend their political
activity and defend Karabakh", Levon Ter-Petrossyan, the first
president of Armenia, the leader of the opposition, said during the
Second Congress of his supporters at the session hall of the RA
government, Friday.
According to Ter-Petrossyan, the opposition intends to continue its
resolute fight "to relieve people of the criminal anti-democratic
regime", however, at the same time, it will also try to avoid new
shocks, particularly, if one takes into account the constant militarist
statements of Baku. "Azerbaijan should understand at last that if it
attacks Karabakh, it will be offered rebuff regardless of the domestic
political situation in Armenia", the ex-president said. He assured that
in case of resumption of military actions, his team-mates, most of
which are being persecuted for political reasons by the present
Armenian authorities and are currently detained, will found themselves
in the first rows of soldiers again.
Levon Ter-Petrossyan also demanded that the Armenian authorities should
finally display real concern over the settlement of the Karabakh
conflict and take specific steps to move the peace process forward.
