The returning of the Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin to the
presidential position is not enough factor for ex-president of
Armenia Robert Kocharyan's returning to the power, irrespective of
their strong friendship, political expert Aleksandr Iskandaryan said
at today's press-conference.
He said that one should not compare Putin with Kocharyan, as unlike his
Russian "boss", after his presidency Kocharyan was not prime minister
of Armenia. "Undoubtedly, the second president of Armenia owns big
financial resources and has an influence in the political life of
the country, but this is not enough. Unlike Putin, who is the leader
of the ruling "Edinnaya Rossia" party, he did not found and head the
ruling party of Armenia - Republican Party. After leaving the post of
the president, Putin continued determining the foreign political line
of the state, but we cannot say the same about Kocharyan. For this
reason, it is extremely wrong to compare them", - Iskandaryan said.
He also added that after Putin's coming, the policy of Russia towards
Armenia will not change, taking into account the fact that Putin has
been always defining the foreign policy of the country.
