		<description>GT, I've belatedly re-read your comment and guess it was aimed at me. If so, I've never referred to the NYT as a "freemasonic mouthpiece." 

However, as for why the international media did not take LTP on board as they did, say, Saakashvili, the reasons are pretty simple.

Firstly, at this point at least, Armenia is not geopolitically important enough and the West wants stability. Secondly, LTP did not show himself to offer anything important enough -- democracy, human rights, anti-corruption etc.

Besides, LTP didn't win the election. Of course, it should have gone to a second round, but unlike Georgia and Ukraine, showed no democratic credentials to say as much.

Indeed, he instead said he won with 65 percent of the vote which pretty much puts him alongside Sargsyan, in my opinion, as a cynic when it comes to the whole idea of democratic elections.</description>

		<description>for your information, I am 48 years old, with advanced degree in sciences and I have lived in 4 very different countries. I speak 4 languages and have participated in events of 1988-1991 and know events and people who were involved first hand. 
I was not referring exclusively to your comment. Unfortunately armenian blogs are full of nasty comments about "“second coming” of this freemasonic puppet".   

Your post did not answer any of my arguments:  why is the NY Times and other mouthpieces of freemasonic whatever did not publish a word defending their puppet?</description>

		<description>Judging from you comment and from your twice-told,  nothing-new, and old as hell arguments which I've been dealing with for decades firsthand, you appear to be a young man, GT. When you grow older and expand your readings far beyond geopolitics, I'm sure you will come to realize that geopolitics do play a significant role in the world affairs , but not the determinant one.

You will also come to realize that in the civilized world you could have been sued for making groundless acuasitions of a person's opinions as being "antisemitic, paranoic, racist, and fascist," especially because there was nothing, literally nothing of that kind in my comment. I haven't insulted Arabs or Jews (both, by the way, are semitic nations). My comment as an opinion of a sober-minded person was to the point, albeit my own point, and in no way could be considered paranoic. I haven't mentioned and therefore by no means have insulted any nation or race to express a rascist opinion. And lastly, it was by any account a fascist opinion, because fascim is an authoritarian political ideology that considers the individual subordinate to the interests of the state.

I advise that you first educate yourself with precise definitions of adjectives that you have so insolently used in my address and stay away from geopolitics. You'll live a happier life this way, believe me.</description>

		<description>I am becoming so tired of these antisemitic, paranoic, racist, fascist opinions. A very simple logic dismisses all this nonsense.  We are situated in a region where huge geopolitical interests exist. On one hand its big oil policy, on the other hand it is post cold war reshaping of the world. By both accounts USA (and its allies Turkey and Israel) are absolutely interested in Armenian submission. The prize is whole southern Caucasus with easy access to oil wealth of the region spreading east to the border of China and significant reduction of Russian influence in Caucasus and over Iran and Palma d'Oro of a peacemaker.  Given the lengths to which the USA has gone in order to wrestle Georgia out of Russian influence, installing there a puppet "democracy"  it is obvious that they should be much more interested in an armenian president, who will betray armenian interests, russian interests and go along their plans. 

But they do not move a single  finger in support of Levon Ter Petrossian. Not even usual ranting about election process. It is obvious that there is no politician in Armenia who can be their dear as Misha or Viktor Yushchenko. Stop baseless accusations and dirt throwing.</description>

		<description>I'm astonished at the short-sightedness and sheep-likeness of the pro-LTP segment of the Armenian populace. How can they allowed themselves to be misled by a discredited, misanthropic politician who had himself exhibited all signs of utterly authoritarian rule, imposition of misery, desolation, and impoverishment on the people whilst attaining self-enrichment for himself? Was it not Ter-Petrossian who introduced falsification and vote-rigging back in 1996 when the obvious winner was Vazgen Manoukian?

We, as a nation, need to understand that the “second coming” of this freemasonic puppet has been ordered by those secret societies, supra-national, supra-governmental internationalist power elites, who direct the events on the world arena, including national elections, for the sake of attaining their sick goal of one world government. It is not a conspiracy theory: it is a fact that becomes more and more obvious in our world order.

I believe LTP was ordered back to Armenia’s political life for two main reasons. 

One was to galvanize Armenian electorate which showed strong signs of apathy and disgruntlement during the preceding constitutional referendum. Hence, his return would stir up the electorate en masse so that the candidate pre-selected by these supra-national elites, could have falsified the outcome of the election with ease. Clearly, it is much harder to rig the elections under the conditions of nearly total civil disobedience. Their pre-selected candidate, make no mistake, is Serj Sarkissian.

Second reason is that in order to conceal the fact that Serj is their pre-selected candidate, these forces needed to set up a mirage of a “political struggle,” but in such a manner that the second contender, too, be their own choice. This method is as old as the world: to bring two seemingly contending candidates to the fore both of whom are subservient to the same string-pullers behind their backs.

The Armenians would have shown cleverness and ingenuity had they totally neglected and boycotted these elections, showing once again that they understand that both Levik and Serjik are not public-spirited politicians. Unfortunately, one cannot expect the same level of wisdom and shrewdness from intelligent, well-educated segments of the populace and the narrow-minded commoners.</description>
