ArmInfo. "I'd advise Levon Ter-Petrosyan, the first president of
Armenia, to beg people's pardon for the mistakes made during his term
in office," newly-elected Chairman of Board of the Republican Party of
Armenia (RPA), Armenian Prime Minister Serzh Sargsyan said at the 11th
congress of the RPA, Saturday.
According to him, there is no threat of revanchism in the country, but
the Armenian Pan National Movement, the former ruling party in Armenia,
is obviously trying to reactivate its forces. "Ter-Petrosyan's desire
to run for president is conditioned only by one thing - to get back at
those who dared to say a single word of criticism against him. As
regards his intention to destroy the present state system in the
country, any attempts to do this will be suppressed," S.Sargsyan
stressed. He added that over the past 10 years the authorities have
never given political assessments to Ter-Petrosyan's administration
"not to create tension in the society".
S.Sargsyan also emphasized that Levon Ter-Petrosyan had an excellent
opportunity to serve his Motherland when he was the president of
Armenia, however, he preferred voluntarily leave the post of the
President and Supreme Commander-in-Chief in hour of need. "But every
cloud has a silver lining - due to his nomination, people will be able
to compare his administration to the present one. Therefore, democratic
and free election will mark the political death of Ter-Petrosyan and
the Armenian Pan National Movement," he said.
