By suggesting a political dialogue, the leader of Armenian National
Congress (ANC) Levon Ter-Petrossian helped current President Serzh
Sargsyan to strengthen his positions, according to a political expert.
As Yervand Bozoyan told a news conference in Yerevan, Serzh Sargsyan
lost its legitimacy in people’s eyes following the elections and March
1, 2008 events. Further, a number of failures in domestic and foreign
policy made him lose his authority as well, the expert believes. `ANC
leader helped President Sargsyan to regain his authority and position
in state governance system,’ the expert said.
Political expert Suren Surenyants disagrees. According to him,
Ter-Petrossian is self-sufficient enough to acts in his own interests
rather than the interests of any other sides. He explained the
dialogue by both parties’ inability to achieve their maximum goals.
