    Armenia's first president still to have final say in politics - ex-speaker

    The first Armenian president, Levon Ter-Petrosyan, has not abandoned
    big-time politics, Babken Ararktsyan, former speaker of the Armenian
    National Assembly and one of the ideologists of the former ruling
    Armenian Pan-National Movement [APNM], told a press conference today.

    "I do not think that he has abandoned politics, neither today nor at
    any other time. Another issue is whether he has abandoned public
    politics," the former speaker said. Ter-Petrosyan is the first
    Armenian president and naturally, there is an interest in him both in
    the country and abroad. "He has always kept abreast of what is going
    on, and I am sure that at decisive moments, especially when it comes
    to processes around Nagornyy Karabakh, he cannot remain indifferent,"
    Ararktsyan said.

    As for the APNM's cooperation with other opposition parties, the
    former speaker said that cooperation should be based on similar
    ideological approaches. If this is not the case, the cooperation will
    be short-lived, Ararktsyan added.
