Re: Presidential elections 2008 in Armenia
Us in diaspora tell Hayastancis for who they should vote? No thank you. Wasn't it you who had said that Diasporans need to but out of Armenia's politics.
I personally still remember the distrust, ridicule and even hatred with which everyone around me looked at Ter-Petrosian. As you know, in politics often the lesser of two evils is the best choice. The fact that Levon betrayed the trust of his people when he was in power makes him the greater of the two evils.
I think that 10 years later, the Armenians that are listening to him are sort of going through the democratic emotions. He's another voice and he's a real politician, by virtue of which he is worthwhile to listen to. When it comes time to vote though, memory will take over and all the pretty, reasonable speeches he has made won't make a difference.
