Ter-Petrosyan points to split in Armenian opposition

ArmInfo.Armenia's first president, Levon Ter- Petrosyan, has stated that months-long negotiations to unite opposition parties have ended in a stalemate.

"It must be honestly admitted that  despite months of  negotiations,  opposition parties have failed to reach an agreement. In this case,  the only force capable of uniting the divided opposition is Samvel  Karapetyan.

Ultimately, it must be understood that the unification of the  opposition is not a political issue, but simply a matter of saving  the nation. As a self-sufficient and accomplished person, Karapetyan  is capable of solving this issue," Ter-Petrosyan's Facebook post  reads. 

 Several experts have already criticized this post by Armenia's first  president, accusing him of trying to play into the hands of Armenia's  current Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan.
