    RESPONDING TO MY DEAR FRIEND WHO THINKS I HAVE ONE SIDED VIEW REGARDING ARMENIA'S RECENT EVENT

    AZG Armenian Daily
    02/04/2008

    After-Election Crisis

    Dear compatriot, during my 7 years living and working in
    Armenia/Karabakh and visiting and working as a volunteer twice
    thereafter for many months. Closely observing Armenian and Karabakh
    societies and political climate, my response and conclusion from
    the recent Yerevan disorder will be the following: being familiar
    with Mr. Ter-Petrosian's character and background and also knowing
    Mr. Sarkisian from Karabakh, I can assure you that Mr. Ter-Petrosian
    is not better than Mr. Sarkisian! Nobody should have delusion or
    expect that Mr. Ter-Petrosian team will do miracles for Armenia or
    Karabakh. They are both from the same old

    Soviet era cadre regarding the 4-500000 protesting people, I believe
    we can divide them in 5 categories

    1-intellectual patriots who are tired from corruption and oligarchs

    2-indigents who are struggling and want justice.

    3-nice common (but naive) hard working people who want change but
    are mislead and aren't aware or imagine what can happen to them when
    they have no security and stability if unrest continuous. they were
    unaware what mr.levon's group will bring to them (which may can cost
    armenians to lose at least karabakh)

    4-Mr Levon's supporters, like Mr. Arzumanian, with their vendetta
    and previous oligarch's who lost their positions

    5--others- foreign interests, idealistic dreamers who prefer rose or
    orange revolutions for Armenia and finally oportunists and looters

    Even though i deeply sympathize with 1,2 and 3 groups but i do not
    appreciate Mr. .Ter-Petrosian's irresponsible and destructive way...

    Now we ask our new president and new government to listen and
    help people who are critical of their lifestyle, wages and poorly
    enforced laws, some of which descended from old soviet regime.the new
    president and new government needs to improve people's socioeconomic
    conditions,democracy and equality.

    More important than anything else, we need political and religious
    unity in both homelands and diaspora.

    national interests need to supersede individual political parties
    and religious interests.

    Dear compatriot, please understand me i have no one side
    view. Mr. Ter-Petrosyan's actions are endangering our homeland security
    and stability. i am not too concerned about Sarkisian or Ter-Petrosian
    or Hovhannisian or Baghdasarian or the others. I solely care only about
    my homeland, Armenia and Karabakh. I cannot and will not be neutral
    when some people knowingly or unknowingly endangered our security,
    stability and independence.

    Dear friend, i am fearful, fearful to lose our "fragile" independence
    and Karabakh

    This people (regardless of their good intentions) must not help to
    create instability, insecurity and bloodshed in our homeland, which
    gave the Azeris an opportunity to take advantage from unrest and
    attack Levonarch/Karabakh, as we just experienced on 4-th of March
    only 3 days after yerevan's disorder. Our enemies are watching us

    Dear friend if you think this opinion is one-sided view, then I am.

    Thank you for your time
