Political scientist Gagik Hambaryan, in the conversation with Aravot.am, did not rule out that the founder president of Armenia Levon Ter-Petrosyan wishes to participate in the presidential elections, although the latter announced that he would not be nominated. “I do not have much faith in politicians, who are saying, “I am going and I will not participate in the political process”. Recently, Levon Ter-Petrosyan made a wide-scale statement, how can the former president say, “I am not participating”, and constantly come up with the statements, constantly “informing” the public about his existence. When in 1998, Levon Ter-Petrosyan resigned, he stated that when all the people ask him, he will come. No one asked, and 10 years later, in 2008, he decided to come back with his team. There is still enough time for the presidential election, and Levon Ter-Petrosyan would probably have time over these years to decide whether he is really leaving, or not. Otherwise, it turns out the version of Alla Pugacheva, “I am leaving”, but still on the stage for another ten years,” said the political scientist.
