When signing the Millennium Challenge agreement the U.S. Secretary of
State Condoleezza Rice used the phrase "elected government of Armenia,"
which has not been used since 2003. Does this mean that the United
States recognizes that the leadership of Armenia was elected? "The
Americans have decided to take the country. They are going to accept
everything because they do not have a candidate here yet. They are
going to act in accordance with the government. As they used to do in
Russia. Now they understand that the country is failing, and together
with Iran they are thinking what to do to keep the country going,"
said Aram Karapetyan, the leader of the Nor Zhamanakner Party.
Aram Karapetyan does not deny that the United States and Russia may
come to an agreement and "support the same candidate" in Armenia. "In
a month everything will return to the South Caucasus. In Belarus
it is over, in Ukraine it is over. I think soon there will be
certain developments in Georgia, and then it will move to the South
Caucasus. And already there will be arrangements and so on," said
Aram Karapetyan.
