In the discussions on the recent developments in Russia and their
possible influence on the domestic policy of Armenia, experts
mainly juxtapose Putin and Kocharyan. In addition, no parallels are
drawn between Medvedev and Sargsyan. However, the question whether
Sargsyan will be as easy as Medvedev to call on the Republican Party
to nominate Kocharyan for the presidential election may turn out to
be an important factor.
Medvedev and Putin announced they had agreed on such a scenario
earlier in 2007. Is there a similar agreement between Kocharyan and
Sargsyan? What did they speak about on March 1, 2008 when Kocharyan
imposed a state of emergency? How many terms did Kocharyan assign to
Sargsyan, one or two?
Experts think there is little common between Sargsyan and Medvedev,
Sargsyan is ready to turn to the West for support, and is not likely
to cede to Kocharyan as easily as Medvedev. In the past 3.5 years,
despite regular press reports on controversies between Kocharyan
and Sargsyan, and the Armenian politicians, according to WikiLeaks,
talked to the U.S. officials about these controversies, Serzh Sargsyan
never uttered a bitter word against Kocharyan.
In case of a real controversy, Sargsyan would use all the ~Sdiscreet~T
means to deprive Kocharyan of even the possibility to return. After
all, March 1 is still open, together with a great deal of other
things which Serzh Sargsyan could use against Kocharyan. The fact
that he did not do is evidence to an agreement between them rather
than friendship or reluctance to defame his ex-boss.
However, this is just another supposition, just like the fact that in
Armenia Putin will promote Kocharyan. However, the fact that Medvedev
gave away the scramble for power with a smile of joy is evidence
that Serzh Sargsyan may also state to refuse it one day. It is in
the context of the home political developments of Armenia.
The opposition demands snap elections by the end of this year,
Serzh Sargsyan leaves for the West and does not get a high-ranking
reception, the IMF does not announce debt restructuring for Armenia,
so it is possible that Serzh Sargsyan may return and resign or state
reluctant to run for a second term.
