YEREVAN. – Even though the Armenian National Congress leader Levon Ter-Petrosyan is a favorite personality of the West, Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan’s positions are fairly good in Armenia and international arena alike, former FM of Nagorno Karabakh Republic Arman Melikyan noted during a press conference today.

“In my assessment, however, if Sargsyan continues in office, we will continue to be buried in this terrible ‘swamp.’ And if [former Armenian presidents] Robert Kocharyan and Levon Ter-Petrosyan come to power, the domestic political situation would become radically intense. That is why we need to look for a new political generation,” Melikyan maintained, highlighting that either Kocharyan or Ter-Petrosyan would assist Serzh Sargsyan if they observe that their opponent could come to power.

“That is to say, Kocharyan would help Sargsyan, against Ter-Petrosyan, and Ter-Petrosyan would help Sargsyan, against Kocharyan. This means Serzh Sargsyan is fairly well positioned,” the former official stated.
