Opposition leader accuses Sarkisian of  `surrendering Garabagh`

Armenian opposition leader, former president Levon Ter-Petrosian claims that incumbent President Serzh Sarkisian has agreed to return to Azerbaijan Upper (Nagorno) Garabagh, an Azerbaijani region under Armenian occupation.
Ter-Petrosian told reporters that the only way ``to rescue Garabagh`` is to achieve resignation of the incumbent president as soon as possible.
According to him, the Armenian authorities have taken a step backward, succumbing to Western pressure.
``They have relinquished the claims on genocide [the 1915 alleged genocide in the Ottoman Empire] and they will now give up Garabagh. After that, these authorities will be of no use even for the West,`` Ter-Petrosian concluded.
