    LEVON TER-PETROSYAN: THERE IS NO ALTERNATIVE TO SERZH SARGSYAN'S RESIGNATION

    There is no alternative to Serzh Sargsyan's resignation, the first
    President of Armenia, the leader of the Armenian National Congress
    Levon Ter-Petrosyan said in an interview to Ilur.am.

    "This is what he must do if he actually cares for the future of Armenia
    and Nagorno-Karabakh. As President he made a mess of whatever he did
    except for what concerned the welfare of his clan and his own self,
    and I am sure that he is no longer able to do anything good for his
    country," Ter-Petrosyan said.

    He believes that it is because of Sargsyan's opportunism that both the
    West and Russia have begun regarding Armenia as an unreliable partner.

    "This policy may have disastrous consequences for both Armenia and
    Nagorno-Karabakh. So, if we want to restore our image, we must carry
    out drastic reforms - something we can hardly expect from Sargsyan,
    whose regime serves only his own self. He is not a fool to saw off
    the bough he is sitting on," Ter-Petrosyan said.

    He is convinced that Sargsyan is in Zugzwang, with each day of his
    rule causing more damage to Armenia and Nagorno-Karabakh. "So, it is
    time for him to resign on his own will and to let his people elect a
    president that will be able to restore Armenia's image and to confront
    the challenges the country is faced with. Sargsyan's resignation
    will in no way be followed by a political vendetta. On the contrary,
    I think the Parliament should legally protect him and his property,"
    Ter- Petrosyan said.

    He said that he has no self-interest in this as he is not going to
    run for presidency. "Robert Kocharyan will not do this either just
    because Serzh Sargsyan came into power as a result of the March
    2008 slaughter. We are running out of time. If Serzh Sargsyan is in
    Zugzwang, the Armenian people is in Zeitnot," Ter-Petrosyan said.
