YEREVAN, DECEMBER 24, NOYAN TAPAN. As political scientist Levon
Melik-Shahnazarian predicted, though force major situations in the
South Caucasian region are not excluded, nevertheless, the probability
of resumption of Armenian-Azeri war is reduced to minimum. As he
mentioned at the December 24 press conference, operations between the
two countries do not proceed from big powers' interests. According to
him, Nagorno Karabakh problem's moving from the Minsk Group format
to the framework of GUAM cooperation is also improbable in 2008,
but Armenia should be also ready for such developments.
The problem will receive a fair solution favorable for Armenia,
if, in M. Shahnazarian's opinion, a candidate having national way
of thinking wins the 2008 presidential elections of Armenia. In
response to the question of what candidate he means precisely, the
political scientist said: "National way of thinking may be found in
all candidates, except Levon Ter-Petrosian."
According to Melik-Shahnazarian, the first RA President in the years
of his tenure proved that democracy, human rights are more important
for hom than his nation's interests.
