Nationalism or Modern European State?
Aravot says that the only presidential candidate with the genuine political will to end the blockade of Armenia and normalize ties with Azerbaijan and Turkey is former president Levon Ter-Petrossian.
“The authorities as well as a number of other opposition candidates consider that resolve to be an attempt to thrust Armenia into Turkey’s embrace or to implement the formula of ‘let’s give up Karabakh and live well.’ But by mounting the nationalist horse you can’t move too far in the 21st century. Of course, if you want to become a modern European state.”
