    USA wants to see defence minister next Armenian leader - agency

    Iravunk, Yerevan
    7 Apr 06


    Text of report by Armenian newspaper Iravunk on 7 April According to
    our source, efforts are under way to bolster the positions of Defence
    Minister Serzh Sarkisyan and the American authorities are behind this
    plan. The White House sees him as a politician who is capable of
    resolving the issues that worry the USA, in particular the Nagornyy
    Karabakh conflict. But, as the source says, Serzh Sarkisyan is
    nowadays more concerned about the deterioration of his relations with
    Russia and with his former patron [Russian Defence Minister] Sergey
    Ivanov.

    It cannot be ruled out that the USA will assume the role of a mediator
    and try to strengthen and deepen Sarkisyan's relations with Moscow.
    Incidentally, a reduction in the price of the Russian gas may become a
    way to boost Serzh Sarkisyan's authority.
