YEREVAN.- Former Armenia's President Robert Kocharyan does not rule
out possibility that he would return to big politics.
In an interview with Armenian Mediamax agency he commented on recent
speculations about possibility of his return in the context of
Putin-Medvedev swap of power.
"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," he said.
