RETURN OF PETROSIAN, AN OPPORTUNITY?
Armenia is heading to the ballot boxes on Feb. 19 to elect a new president. Of the nine candidates competing in this election, there are two clear favorites.
One of these is the current administration's candidate, Prime Minister Serj Sarkisian. The other is a man who was Armenia's first president, Levon Ter-Petrosian. Petrosian, known for his "moderate" identity, was a man who actually met with former Turkish politician Alparslan Türkeş in Paris back in 1993. He now maintains that Armenia has been directed very badly under the authority of Kocharian, insisting that no positive steps have been taken to solve the Nagorno-Karabakh dispute and ever that since relations with Turkey were cut. The return of Petrosian, who has maintained his silence over the past decade, to Armenian political life could be of life and death importance for the nation in terms of where it finds itself now. So let's see whether the people of Armenia realize the situation the way Petrosian does.
