Ter-Petrosyan’s another letter to Moscow
Speech by Levon Ter-Petrosysn, the First Armenian president, ANC founding Chairman, caused a stir among certain public layers, social networks and media outlets. In case, when that speech was directed neither to the press, moreover, nor to the society.
Levon Ter-Petrosyan has repeatedly proven that his speeches more relate to any pole of the authorities or geopolitics, as a rule, to Russia. His speech at ANC convention wasn’t an exception either. Everything is Russian more than ever.
The authorities, the government, greater part of the opposition and the other part, shaped as opposition, is Russian. Under these conditions he submits a claim to function in Russian orbit, to which other participants of Armenian political system are either not ready, or not able to.
Sense of Ter-Petrosyan’s words, at large, leads to the point that by the ANC he is ready to implement Russian plan of Karabakh conflict, which failed in the April war.
And as Armenian authorities also stated on their readiness at least not to oppose to that plan, Ter-Petrosyan proposes implementation of the propaganda part of that deal, in all likelihood, in the forthcoming parliament, or, for certain engagement with the leadership system, which is the same.
Ter-Petrosyan states, that Karabakh issue settlement “key is in Russia,” which, in fact, means that he accepts the fact of Russia’s possession of the key to the formation of the leadership in Armenia. As the key not to the settlement, but to eternal non-settlement is in Russia, and by that—maintenance of Russian presence in the region, readiness on continuation of which expresses first Armenian president. Time will show whether his proposal will be acceptable to Armenian authorities, and which is more important, to the author—Russia.
Prior to that public reflections of the speech by Ter-Petrosyan, it’ll fill the vacuum of the political agenda, which day by day is becoming more vivid in parallel with approaching elections. It’s another service to the authorities, which under the name of a political discourse has an issue of developing a parliament.
