According to ROUBEN HAKOBYAN, "It is advantageous to the authorities
for L. Ter-Petrosyan to remain as the only representative of the
opposition.

Because they say, ‘all agree with us, and it’s only L. Ter-Petrosyan
that wants to split the nation, and he has remained inside the
opposition camp.’

It is advantageous to the authorities to discredit the movement. As
to L.

Ter-Petrosyan, it is advantageous to him to say, ‘I am the only
representative of the opposition; all the rest are activists of a
pseudo-opposition, imitators etc.’ There is no political campaign
in such conditions; there is a fight that has nothing in common
with politics."

In such situation, the only salvation is "the third force which,
even though a little bit terrified and frightened, will come and say
cautiously whatever it has to."
