An 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.
