WHAT DOES LEVON TER-PETROSYAN COUNT ON?

"If it is previously known that the presidential elections do not
solve any problem in terms of power shift, what does L. Ter-Petrosyan
count on? Does it mean he will try to do that by way of a revolution:
to come into conflicts and constantly instigate some incidents?

>From that point of view, it should be noted that the authority is
vulnerable to provocation. The October 23 crash between the police
and the activists of the Armenian pan-National Movement showed that
it is very easy to drive them out of their senses and push them to
silly steps.

Any authority is conventionally divided into two wings: reformers
and proponents of tough policy; the latter strive to make their power
more uncontrollable.

If the "pre-election campaign" is viewed on the black-and-white
background, the proponents of tough policy inevitably become active.

This, in my opinion, is no less dangerous," SHAVARSH KOCHARYAN said
to our correspondent.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
