If Levon Ter-Petrosyan praises someone, it means that he is striving
to lower the rating of this person, said political scientist Levon
Melik-Shahanzaryan.
Asked about the differences between the Ter-Petrosian and Serzh
Sargsyan, Melik-Shahnazaryan noted that he can single out a sole
important difference.
"Ter-Petrosyan has repeatedly said at least to me personally that we
are not able to fight with strong Azerbaijan, and better accept the
status of self-government of Karabakhwithin Azerbaijan than lose the
war", noted the political scientist, adding that Ter-Petrossian has
a psychology of defeat either due to the good knowledge of history
or genetically.
He compared this to the statement of Serzh Sargsyan who said "the
right of Karabakh for self-determination is non-negotiable".
