ROBERT KOCHARYAN: "I DON'T RULE OUT MY RETURN TO BIG POLITICS"
Mediamax, Armenia

Yerevan/Mediamax/. Former Armenian President Robert Kocharyan said
in the exclusive interview to Mediamax that he doesn't rule out the
possibility of his return to big politics.
Robert Kocharyan said this commenting by Mediamax's request on the
fact that the topic of his return to big politics became one of
the main themes on the internal political agenda, and the fact that
Vladimir Putin is going to run for the post of Russian President in
2012 aroused a stream of discussions about the impact of this step
on political processes in Armenia and on political perspectives of
the second President in particular.
"I am amazed that my possible return is linked to political processes
in Russia. And this happens immediately after the celebration of
the 21st anniversary of Armenia's independence? I am sure political
processes should ripen here in Armenia, and not be directly projected
from outside.
I don't rule out the possibility of my return to big politics.
However, only three major factors may force me to return and not the
events going on in other country which is very close and important
for Armenia. These three factors are:
1. the absence of a tangible and stable improvement of the situation
in country's economy and people's welfare, and consequently the growth
of hopeless moods and migration;
2. the demand for my return to big politics by various layers of
the society;
3. my inner belief that I can radically improve the situation.
The ways of return to active politics may vary given these three
factors.
Other circumstances only add a political resource but are not
fundamental," Robert Kocharyan said in the exclusive interview to
Mediamax.
