Yerevan /Mediamax/. Ex-President of Armenia Levon Ter-Petrosian accused
the present authorities of the republic of "imitation of foreign and
internal policy, which hides one aim - personal enrichment".
Mediamax reports that Levon Ter-Petrosian, nominated as a candidate for
the position of the President for the upcoming elections of February
19 of 2008, said this in an interview, published today in the Moscow
"Kommersant" newspaper.
"I will say right away that I have no ambitions. I will get nothing
from the new presidency. On the contrary, I will lose freedom. But the
state, established by two men well known to you, pestered me. This
is a regime corrupted from top to bottom. This is a kleptocracy, in
which everything is obeyed to the laws of the criminal world. Complete
plunder of the country.
This is an imitation of foreign and internal policy, which hides one
aim - personal enrichment. They have created a pattern, which does
not even have a faint resemblance of a balance of authorities. There
is a neatly built pyramid", Levon Ter-Petrosian stated.
Ex-President noted that after the terrorist act in the Armenian
parliament, realized on October 27 of 1999, "the authorities started
concentrating all the levers in their hands".
"Some 5-10 years more and this will turn into a catastrophe in
all the spheres: economic, social, the Karabakh settlement, in the
issue of preservation of Armenia's blockade. And even in the issue
of demography, since the emigration will only become stronger. This
predetermined by step.
I am ready to become a tool, which will allow getting rid of these
authorities. Then I will leave and give the people a chance to choose
a new President", Ter-Petrosian stated.
