Process: Institute of CIS Countries

Russia, Moscow, 20 February / corr. Trend News R. Agayev/ The
presidency of Serj Sarkisyan, in Armenia, will change nothing in the
process of regulation of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. `There is no
need to expect any revolutionary changes regarding the
Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, after taking into account the biography
and views of the future president', Vladimir Jarikin, the Russian
analyst of high rank said.
The former prime minister and the chairman of the Republican Party of
Armenia -Serj Sarkisyan gained 52.86% of votes in the presidential
elections, held on 19 February.
`It will be an exaggeration to say that the results of the
presidential elections in Armenia are unexpected. The outcomes were
predictable, however the Government wanted to gain more than 53% of
the votes,' Jairkin, the deputy director of the Institute of CIS
(Commonwealth of Independent States) countries said in his interview
with Trend News on 20 February.
According to expert, the supporters of Lev Ter-Petrasyan, the
opposition candidate, would not calm down and will demand the
re-counting of the votes once again. However, the outcome of the
elections is convincing enough, because Ter-Petrasyan gained not many
votes, less than 50%, therefore it will be difficult for his
supporters to speak about his victory.
The contradicting opinions of the analysts concerning democratic
elections in Armenia will not destabilize the situation in the
country. The only stabilizing factor not to hold an active policy of
colour revolution with regard to Armenia is the very influential and
strong Armenian Diaspora in the United States, he said.
The analyst did not comment on whether Robert Kocharyan will be the
Prime Minister and said that the former president will still be
included in the government of Armenia, but now it is difficult to say
which position he will hold.
Jarikin said that there will be no changes in Armenia-Russia
relations and the course pursued during the period of the later
president will be continued.
