AS A RESULT EVERYONE BENEFITS

Except Armenia

While Armenia is concentrated on overcoming the “big confrontation” imposed by Levon Ter-Petrosyan, in Azerbaijan they are happy to state that it is too early to speak about the stabilization of the situation and that civil war is unavoidable.
Meanwhile they sound cymbals that Armenian society is split and 1/3 of Armenia is ready to cede Karabakh.
In response to our questions RPA vice Chair Razmik Zohrabyan touches upon these issues.
“Actually in Azerbaijan they are really enthusiastic about the tragic events that took place in Armenia on March 1-2 and with evident happiness they announce that a leader appeared in Armenia who raised issues concerning Karabakh, Armenia, and in general the region, and 1/3 of Armenians (the conversation is about the 21%) has voted for reducing the number of the army, establishing “friendly relations with Turkey and Azerbaijan, and solving Karabakh issue in favor of Azerbaijan’s territorial integrity.
And unfortunately there is certain truth in all this. From now on both Azerbaijan and the West can state that the 350 thousand citizens who voted for Levon Ter-Petrosyan are tired of Karabakh and consider the failure of the solution of this issue the main reason of their social problems, and that these people are ready to settle this issue as soon as possible and at any price. But this is not true.
Among those 350 thousand voters there are different layers of disapproved. Some of them are disapproved of their social condition, and they accuse the authorities of their bad social condition, that is why they voted against the authorities and they gave preference to the radical candidate.
There is another layer of the disapproved. From the beginning Levon Ter-Petrosyan started a total anti-Karabakh campaign, announcing that “Karabakh clan” has occupied the power, has established a “Mongol-Tatar khanship”, thus attracting the voters who don’t like Karabakh Armenians for this or that reason. By the way this phenomenon is not particular only to Armenia. In the same Azerbaijan for example, “nakhijevan clan” is against Baku wing. In Ukraine the west is against the east, etc. And Ter-Petrosyan managed to use this factor.
The third condition, which is less spoken about is the psychological factor. The ex-President masters the methods of psychological influence. In the books about black magic you can read how these magicians managed to create a corresponding psychological atmosphere by means of poetry. When during one of his demonstrations Levon Ter-Petrosyan recited Charents (Armenian great poet) many people were shocked. What did Charents have to do with politics or with that layer of society?
There were many other orators there, who also master this power and they managed to keep the people in the square, for many days.
All this led to the fact that 350 thousand electors voted for Levon Ter-Petrosyan but only part of them did this based on ideological generalities.
After all their objective was a coup d'état and they were well aware that Levon Ter-Petrosyan doesn’t have any chances to win the elections and from the beginning they have chosen that tactics, manipulation of masses, accumulation of the disapproved around him and the use of the psychological influence.”
“After all what task did Levon Ter-Pterosyan set by spoiling the elections? What was his purpose?”
“Levon Ter-Petrosyan was simply a tool in the hands of the west, to realize their goals in the region. Pay attention that these events coincided with the declaration of Kosovo’s independence. After all we are facing the problem of the recognition of Karabakh independence and the west that did its best to achieve the recognition of Kosovo’s independence, continuously announces that the latter can’t be a precedent for Karabakh.
Thus they are trying to put pressure on us, so that we will not be able to raise this issue while the issue of the recognition of the independence of Abkhasia, South Osia and Trans-Dnester is in the process of discussion in Russia. Thus they needed someone to create tension, to split the society and to make Armenian authorities concentrate on internal issues. And Levon Ter-Petrosyan was the one to take this role.
