Levon Ter-Petrosyan considers the necessity of the platform initiated by Catholicos between the authorities and the opposition exhausted

Arman Musinyan, the press spokesman of the RA First President, presented Levon Ter-Petrosyan's reaction to the article published today on Armtimes.com, in which the five demands of Azerbaijan were introduced to Armenia.

"The response refers to today's publication of the RA Prime Minister's personal/family media, which is essentially a negative response to the proposal to start a dialogue between the opposition and the government.

The President appreciates this publication for revealing Azerbaijan's demands regarding the expected settlement of Armenian-Azerbaijani relations. It is, in fact, nothing but the Azerbaijani draft of the text of the Armenian-Azerbaijani peace treaty, the details of which, as was mentioned in the September 26 interview of the RA First President, were only known to the Prime Minister and a narrow circle of the upper echelon of power. Naturally, Armenia has also prepared a similar project, the details of which are not disclosed, and it is true that they are not disclosed due to political considerations.

It is clear that similar projects are also being prepared on the platform of diplomatic contacts aimed at the reconciliation of Armenian-Turkish relations. In this case, certainly, no big surprises are expected. The Armenian-Turkish reconciliation agreement, in fact, will not differ much between Davutoglu and Nalbandian in 2009. from the Zurich Protocols signed on October 10.

Thus, it should be noted that the need for the platform initiated by His Holiness the Patriarch between the authorities and the opposition can be considered exhausted, which, however, does not diminish His Holiness' persistent efforts, which, due to the fact of the publication that is the reason for this reaction, have already yielded their results. By the way, the First President of RA considers it necessary to emphasize that a significant event took place thanks to the initiative of His Holiness. Since 1998, the first serious political debate took place in Armenia," said the response of the first RA president.

It should be noted that according to Armtimes.com, Azerbaijan presented the following demands to Armenia.

"Dissolution of the Nagorno-Karabakh Defense Army.

Nagorno-Karabakh is recognized as part of Azerbaijan, without any status, not even an autonomous one. That is, with 0 status.

Corridor through the territory of Armenia.

Demarcation and demarcation process with the maps of 1919, 1920 (it is not yet known which maps we are talking about).

Clarification of the fate of the missing Azerbaijanis is possible in the future with the tendency to accuse Armenia of war crimes."
