(MENAFN- AzerNews) By Rashid Shirinov
Today practically the whole population of Armenia recognizes that the decade-long Sargsyan's regime in the country has had a detrimental effect on Armenia's economy and has even worsened the long-standing Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, thus literally isolating Armenia from the outside world.
Now, when the power has changed in the country, there are two options of further actions, one of which emerges from the crisis, involving the settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict through peaceful negotiations, and the other one is the preservation of the occupation policy of Yerevan.
The final choice of the new government is yet unclear. Armenian analysts warn that the country has reached a critical point and uncontrollable chaos may begin if Pasyinyan's government repeats Sargsyan's mistakes.
Former Armenian President Levon Ter-Petrosyan made similar remarks in his article recently published in the Armenian media. This article is none other than another appeal to the public of the country, which warns about the threats hanging over Armenia's statehood.
An interesting statement deserves special attention in Ter-Petrosyan's article. The politician writes that the current situation in Armenia is as fragile as the situation of the early 1990s in Georgia and Azerbaijan. Thus, the former president admits that over 20-odd years Armenia has remained at the level of chaos, which its neighbors have long overcome.
It is noteworthy that Ter-Petrosyan is one of the few politicians in Armenia who are able to objectively assess the current state of affairs and correctly calculate the consequences of aggressive actions against Azerbaijan. Maybe this is the genuine reason why he could not remain in the upper echelons of power in Armenia.
His remarks voiced on an Armenian TV channel last year about the need to return the territories around Nagorno-Karabakh to Azerbaijan in accordance with the document on which the parties are negotiating are worth noting in this regard.
'If we do not do this voluntarily, someday the lands will be taken away by sanctions, the Armenian politician said.
Armenians, living in a poor country, are well aware of the development of Azerbaijan despite the occupation of 20 percent of its lands by Armenia. They realize that the Nagorno-Karabakh problem has become an impasse not letting Armenia emerge from its difficult situation. Therefore, the new government of Armenia will have to deal with this issue sooner or later.
