has an image of a democrat, would be positive for Armenia and
undesirable for Azerbaijan"

"If Levon Ter-Petrosyan is elected, this will improve a completely
negative image of Armenia, which is famous as Russia’s outpost", Asim
Mollazade, chairman of the Party of Democratic Reforms of Milli Medjlis
of Azerbaijan said regarding possible election of the first president
of Armenia.
He added that Serj Sarkisyan’s election would be positive for
Azerbaijan, as his whole career is bound to war and Garabagh conflict
and his actions are more predictable and less dangerous than
Ter-Petrosyan’s.
"Moreover, position of "the party of war" in Armenia, including one of
its most prominent representatives Serj Sarkisyan, led to the current
isolation of Armenia, making its participation in all regional projects
impossible thus affecting the economic indicators of this country.
However, Azerbaijan wishes that Armenia put an end to its aggressive
policy and start developing in the same direction with the South
Caucasus countries"
He considers that the number of Armenians, who are for peace in the
region, is going up.
"Armenians are tired of the aggressive policy of the leadership of
their country. Moreover, I have been informed that the Armenian
community of Nagorno Garabagh is also grudging over the current state
in Armenia, which suffers from mass outflow of the population due to
the policy carried out by its leadership and which was left beyond all
positive processes in our region. Their resentment is clear as
Armenians see that Azerbaijan and Georgia are rapidly developing unlike
their country which depends on the aggressive policy of its
leadership", he concluded.
