The parliamentary election in Armenia passed rather actively. The
strong inter-party competition caused special interest. Nevertheless,
domestic political changes will hardly affect the relations with
Russia, director of the Caucasus Institute, political expert Aleksandr
Iskandanyan said at Yerevan-Moscow televised bridge, 17 May.
"They often say that the century long traditions and common cultural
heritage link our two countries. But if we really watch the situation,
we shall see that mutual interest is priority in the bilateral
relations, as Russia is an umbrella of security for Armenia", -
he said.
Touching on inter-regional issues and global political changes,
Iskandaryan said that Armenia has formed a habit to live in the
conditions of turbulence, and Russia is the necessary factor which
helps Armenia in this matter. "Armenia is not going to put the
equality mark between the pro-Russian and anti-western orientation
like our many neighbours do. As for availability of the opposition in
the parliament, it is a very much important factor for Armenia on the
way of democracy establishment, as the problems which 7% of citizens
are concerned about, will be discussed not in the street but in the
parliament", - the expert said.
