“Authorities have one more reserve step”
"No one came up against Levon Ter-Petrosyan. Those who disagreed with him, simply went away. This is a right decision as Levon Ter-Petrosyan continues to remain the most serious political figure in the Armenian National Congress (HAK)," says the leader of New Times Party (NZhK).
"Levon Ter-Petrosyan has visited all his jailed teammates. He never forgets about his friends and supporters. He also visited me in prison. Many would not like to hear this but I must say that Levon Ter-Petrosyan will become the guarantee for the release of the political prisoners," said Aram Karapetyan.
The NZhK believes that the authorities will free all political prisoners by May 31 with the exception of Sargis Hatspanyan and Murad Bojolyan, who, according to Karapetyan, have problems with the authorities.
Aram Karapetyan anticipates interesting developments in the country after the release of the political prisoners. The authorities and the opposition will start a political dialogue.
"But it is useless to expect early elections as the authorities will not agree to that demand," he said adding that the authorities have one more reserve step- the resignation of Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan.
