YEREVAN. - We won the Karabakh War in 1994 thanks to former Armenian president Levon Ter-Petrosyan.

Levon Zurabyan, who ranks the second on the candidate list of Congress-PPA [People’s Party of Armenia] bloc, said the aforementioned at the campaign rally in Yerevan’s Malatia-Sebastia administrative district Friday.

In his words, it would be impossible to achieve victory without the correct diplomatic work carried out by the commander-in-chief and correct organization of the war process.

“When we won the Karabakh war in 1994, we first and foremost won thanks to the commander-in-chief Levon Ter-Petrosyan, since the people, soldiers and commanders can be heroes but the victory would be impossible if the organization of war waging, diplomatic work and economic support to the military actions is not correctly organized. Ter-Petrosyan simply wanted to reach that victory and make it irreversible,” the head of the Armenian National Congress (ANC) faction said.

Zurabyan also added that the ceasefire cannot become a guarantee of peace. “Ceasefire is merely a temporary arrangement between the parties, which is based on the will of the parties, this not being irreversible. Unless that ceasefire, the achieved victory, and the status of liberated Artsakh is fixed by peace treaty, the victory is reversible.”
