    ACCORDING TO A. ISKANDARIAN, ELECTIONS HELD IN GEORGIA CANNOT BE COMPARED WITH PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN EXPECTED IN ARMENIA

    YEREVAN, JANUARY 9, NOYAN TAPAN. According to political scientist
    Alexander Iskandarian, the most unexpected thing in the January 5
    elections in Georgia was that the international observers evaluated
    them positively disregarding many violations. From that point of view,
    as the political scientist stated at the January 9 press conference,
    the evaluations of both the U.S. and OSCE observers can be named
    "politicized."

    According to A. Iskandarian, the international observers will not work
    this way during the forthcoming elections in Armenia, as organizations
    implementing monitoring mission and the West in general do not have
    a distinguished favorite person in the Armenian political sphere. In
    general, accoridng to him, one should not compare electoral processes
    in the South Caucasian countries with one another, as Armenia,
    Georgia, and Azerbaijan essentially differ from one another in their
    political culture: a thing which is typical of one of them is alien
    to others. "Dispersing rallies by force, fixing elections for New
    Year and the disgraceful things that happened on Georgia on January
    5 are not proper to Armenia's reality," A. Iskandarian said.

    He added that the January 5 elections are not able to change anything
    in Georgia's foreign policy. The Russian-Georgian relations will be
    also kept unchanged, though, as the political scientist predicted,
    "the things may slightly improve or worsen in the course of their
    development."
