The people will elect their president in Armenia, Hovhannes Sahakyan,
an MP the Republican Party of Armenia (RPA), said at a meeting with
Hmayak Hovhannisyan, Chairman of the Union of Political Scientists
of Armenia.
He particularly touched on Armenia's response to the reports on the
Medvedev-Putin "castle." Sahakyan pointed out a number of external
factors that may have their impact. However, "the people will make
their choice at the next two elections."
As to whether Robert Kocharyan will resume vigorous political
activities, Sahakyan said that said: "We know that, in one of his
speeches, when he was not president any more, Robert Kocharyan said
he would return to the political arena when he announced his return.
Since he has not so far made an announcement, making any forecasts
is a thankless business." According to him, official reshuffle in
Russia will not have any impact on Armenia's domestic political life.
In his turn, Hmayak Hovhannisyan voiced the opinion that the latest
developments in Russia are evidence of that state's viability.
Russia's all enemies are "the circles holding some negative
expectations for the future" ~V they hope for a serious confrontation
between the two persons atop the pyramid of power in Russia, which
would cause will Russia to share the fate of the USSR.
As regards an impact the Putin-Medvedev "castle" may have on
Armenia's political life, Hovhannisyan said: "If the Armenian National
Congress views its political prospects in the context of possibility
of Serzh Sargsyan being in need of it as a factor to neutralize
Robert Kocharyan's activities, and is able to enhance its role in
Armenia's political life, it will find itself in a situation similar
to that Russia's liberals found themselves in. They actually hoped to
intensify their activities due to Medvedev-Putin confrontation." The
expert noted that the latest developments in Russia will force the
Armenian president to decide in favor of a particular course. "Two
courses are available in Armenia now ~V Levon TerPetrosyan's and
Robert Kocharyan's. It has to do with the Nagorno-Karabakh problem,
which is the result of victory," Hovhannisyan said. If Serzh Sargsyan
accepts Ter-Petrosyan's ideas about Nagorno-Karabakh, Robert Kocharyan
will turn into a "core of opposition" in Armenia. Another option is
Serzh Sargsyan's following Robert Kocharyan's course.
In response, Hovhannes Sahakyan said that the Armenian president is
pursuing a clear policy and has no need of guidelines.
