“I wouldn’t like Levon Ter-Petrossian to be in the twilight of his political life, because at the end of the day, he is one of the most informed persons, and secondly, he is our first president. I have always said that a man has only one moment of glory. He shouldn’t have left his column,” Galust Sahakyan, the leader of the Republican Party of Armenia (RPA) parliamentary group, expressed this idea about Levon Ter-Petrossian, the leader of the Armenian National Congress (ANC), during a conversation with www.aravot.am today.
He is convinced that if Levon Ter-Petrossian hadn’t left his column, the country would have been more powerful, and the memories about him would have been stronger. “And now, he has returned to his triumphal column, which means that he has left politics.”
In response to our question when Serzh Sargsyan’s moment of glory was, whether it was now, Galust Sahakyan said: “My description was not about that. I wanted to say that after President Levon Ter-Petrossian left, he should have stayed at his height. No one has ever
returned to the political stage after leaving it. Once Napoleon accidentally came and won, however it lasted only for a few months.”
