I voted "Yes but...".
My opinion is that LTP did not have the gutts to reject and prevent his family's/friends' involvement in state affairs and the privatization process. And this was the root of Armenia's internal political apathy and as a consequence external political standing.
His inability to distance himself from his surroundings created the athmosphere of "elite rights for family and friends" during the devastating early 90s, which destroyed the initial public unity around the process of state creation. This "unity fealing" was crucial for laying the basis of Armenian state. It could have gone after decades, when Armenian had stable policy making process. But this public justice was important in those days. And, as many have said, the inner political problems of nowadys have their roots in early 90s.
I could accept his come back if he would come with a new team free of any friends or family including everybody in current HHSH, which makes my original vote a "No" I guess...
