Eghiazar Ayntaptsi in his political analyses refers to the ANC congress where Ter-Petrosyan had told the ANC members to wait two more days since he is expecting a reply from the superpowers.
Ayntaptsi states Ter-Petrosyan’s irony was aimed both at his followers and his opponents. He stated in his interview that in no developed country a candidate over 60 years will not put his candidacy. Ayntaptsi states the motives Ter-Petrosyan refused to put his candidacy are not only justified but also reasonable and worth respecting but the way Ter-Petrosyan treates his own decisions and presents them to public have no respect towards what he says.
Ter-Petrosyan, as Ayntaptsi states, also disclosed Levon Zurabyan but not by means of secret recording. Zurabyan was stating that Ter-Petrosyan keeps the developments under his control and he observes the option of being a candidate. It turns out Zurabyan lied, Ayntaptsi says.
As a conclusion, Ayntaptsi mentions Ter-Petrosyan with his announcement declared also the end of his political career as such, although he will try to keep his authority on the political life in the country on the whole, at least through the UN part.
