TER-PETROSYAN SUFFERS DEFEAT INSIDE THE COUNTRY
And thus, after a week’s desperate attempts of speaking in the language of threat and blackmail inside the country and demanding new presidential elections, L. Ter-Petrosyan sent “messages” to the world’s leading countries and the authoritative international organizations on February 28, with the purpose of changing the positive assessments on the elections.
A question arises as to what new facts L. Ter-Petrosyan discovered during the week following the elections, that he now assumes them as a basis for changing the previous assessments regarding the Armenian elections? Judging by the contents of the speeches and the statements made at the Theatrical Square, Mr. Ter-Petrosyan and his team do not have anything new to say.
So, what makes L. Ter-Petrosyan transfer the blackmail to the “global level”? We believe that after keeping his proponents on their feet and exhausting them for around 10 days, Mr. Ter-Petrosyan feels that he is suffering a defeat in the “war of nerves” waged against the authorities. It is conditioned by three main factors.
First: although the authorities have, up to date, demonstrated restraint for unauthorized demonstrations and speeches, having received a “complete freedom of hands”, L. Ter-Petrosyan and his team did not manage to disorganize the government and become the de facto leaders of the country.
Second: the demonstrators listening to Mr. Ter-Petrosyan have noticeably got tired, and after the crowded demonstration held on February 26, they have been gradually thinning out.
And finally, third: making consistent steps towards establishing an atmosphere of tolerance in the country and especially, advancing a proposal on forming a coalition government, the President-elect has seized that initiative, consolidating around him the forces and activists which attained successful results in the elections. And it is not accidental that L. Ter-Petrosyan’s desperate addresses to the international community preceded the “Agreement on Political Cooperation” signed between the newly elected President S. Sargsyan and “Rule of Law” leader Arthur Baghdasaryan on February 29.
Feeling that time has begun working against him, Ter-Petrosyan is now setting deadlines for the international community, with a demand to review the assessments made on the Armenian elections.
As a matter of fact, Mr. Ter-Petrosyan’s “pan-national movement” consists of an “efficient army” of several thousand proponents as well as protesting and at the same time cheated people. In order to keep the second, more overcrowded mass at the square, all the possible and impossible methods have already been applied. The attempts of threatening the authorities on behalf of “Yerkrapah” and dismantling the state machine by organizing the resignations of various officials were no use either.
That’s to say. Mr. Ter-Petrosyan has exhausted and is still exhausting all his resources inside the country. The only thing left to do is “to rely on the unreliable”, hoping that after reviewing its positive assessments on the Armenian elections, the international community will impart a new spirit to the principal mass of the demonstrators and bring the Armenian authorities face to face with complex external problems.
But because the international community, including the world’s leading countries do not have new grounds for reviewing their previous assessments, Ter-Petrosyan is trying to “explain” to them how the assessments should be reviewed. He offers them to refrain from the “formalist conduct” and question the legitimacy of the elections, based on the investigation of the searches, arrests and other facts.
It turns out that the international community is offered to become the patron of a group of people committing illegal actions and very often arrested for carrying weapons, something that contradicts not only the principles of the OSCE and the international structures, but also common sense in general.
Thus, Ter-Petrosyan’s ultimatum presented to the international community on February 28 testifies to the fact the author is now in urgent need of an external “stimulant” in order not to disappoint his own supporters and not to discourage the demonstrations. And this means that L. Ter-Petrosyan has found himself in a deadlock.
