The Russian presidential polls are unlikely to have a direct impact
on electoral processes in Armenia, according to Alexander Iskandaryan,
a political analyst.
At a news conference on Monday, the expert said that Russia will
keep working with Armenia's newly elected authorities after the May
parliamentary polls (which also imply a change of cabinet).
Considering Vladimir Putin's victory a "change of situation",
he admitted that his forecasts on the incumbent premier's success
were 10% inaccurate (Iskandaryan had earlier said that Putin had 55%
chances to win in the presidential election).
He said the outcome of the Russian polls will not essentially impact
Armenia unless the country announces a foreign policy change.
Iskandaryan also ruled out the possibility of any impact on Armenia's
parliamentary election.
As for the settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, the expert
said he does not expect major changes in that process either.
"I am not inclined to think that Medvedev pursued independent policies
on any issue, including the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. So, I don't
think there will be essential changes," he added.
