Azerbaijani political scientist: "Levon Ter-Petrosyan will become the president of Armenia"

"He has chances to win, as the people of Armenia are tired of the "Garabagh dynasty" led by Robert Kocharyan, while Ter-Petrosyan is somewhat familiar and at the same time new for most Armenians", R.Mamedov explained, according to Novosti-Azerbaijan.

The political scientist also hopes for improvement of relations between Armenia and Azerbaijan, including in the settlement of Nagorno-Garabagh conflict.

"Ter-Petrosyan has demonstrated an inclination towards the West. Therefore, he will conduct a flexible pro-western policy, aiming to improve relations with all neighbors of Armenia, including Azerbaijan. In this case we should expect serious progress in the resolution of the Garabagh conflict in our favor", R.Mamedov noted.

However, he considers that Armenia will not be able to westernize completely in the near future, as it is hindered by the presence of a Russian military base on its territory.
