If Levon Ter-Petrosyan praises someone, it means that he is striving to lower the rating of this person, said political scientist Levon Melik-Shahanzaryan.

Asked about the differences between the Ter-Petrosian and Serzh Sargsyan, Melik-Shahnazaryan noted that he can single out a sole important difference.
"Ter-Petrosyan has repeatedly said at least to me personally that we are not able to fight with strong Azerbaijan, and better accept the status of self-government of Karabakhwithin Azerbaijan than lose the war", noted the political scientist, adding that Ter-Petrossian has a psychology of defeat either due to the good knowledge of history or genetically.
He compared this to the statement of Serzh Sargsyan who said "the right of Karabakh for self-determination is non-negotiable".
