TURKISH "AKSION" PERIODICAL ENCOURAGED BY LEVON TER-PETROSIAN'S RETURN TO POLITICS
Some of the Turkey' circles are encouraged by Levon Ter-Petrosian's return to politics. Some of the leading Turkish newspapers consider his return to be a proper occasion most likely in the issues of restoring the diplomatic relations with Armenia, in ceasing the international recognition of the Armenian genocide, as well as in the pro-Turkish-Azeri settlement of Nagorno Karabakh conflict.
By the end of the presidential elections in Armenia, the Turkish newspapers not only accepted the victory of RA PM Serge Sarkisian, but also expressed hope that the newly elected president will find new approaches for the settlement of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict and for restoration of diplomatic relations with Turkey.
The current change of attitude toward Serge Sarkisian is conditioned by several factor. Firstly, by the February 21 congratulatory message of Turkish President Abdullah Gyul to newly elected RA president Serge Sarkisian. Another important reason for the change of attitude is Turkish PM Erdoghan's and his party's unfavourable attitude to the Turkish "grey wolves" and Zionist circles who are in friendly and close relations with Levon Ter-Petrosian and his family.
Anyway, "Aksion"Turkish weekly again touched upon the post-electoral political developments in Armenia and came to noteworthy conclusions.
According to the weekly, Armenia was at a loss after the February 19 presidential elections. The supporters of Levon ter-Petrosian who didn't accept the victory of Serge Sargisan flooded the streets. The newspaper enumerates the loses and the distractions in the streets of Yerevan, as well as the number of wounded and dead. It also points out the recent clashes at the Armenian-Azeri border and the deaths of many soldiers from both sides. The weekly draws the attention to the accusations of Serge Sarkisian's government, according to which they want to concentrate the attention of the society from inner issues to the external ones.
Even though Levon Ter-Petrosian failed to win the elections, it is expected that Sarsgian will contribute to improvement of Armenia's relations with Turkey and Azerbaijan. Hasan Kanbolat, expert at the Eurasian strategic center, also shares this opinion, adding that Sarsgian is more committed to reconciliation in the Nagorno Karabakh conflict than his opponents from LTP's team.
The loser in the presidential elections Levon Ter-Petrosian also began commenting on the recent events. In his article for "The Washington Press" LTP conditions the tolerance of the West to the disorder in Armenia by several reasons. According to him, the most important is that "the leaders of Karabakh origin(Kocharian and Sarkisian) are able to settle the Nagorno Karabakh conflict. LTP also accuses the international observers failing to properly carry out their duties.
