PanARMENIAN.Net - Rumors have recently circulated about the comeback
of the second President of Armenia Robert Kocharian, head of the
Institute of East European and CIS said.
As Alexander Tsinker told PanARMENIAN.Net the rumors are mainly
conditioned by Kocharian's trips to Moscow and meetings with Russian
President Vladimir Putin. This serves basis for Armenian media to
center on Kocharian's possible return, drawing an analogy with Putin.
`I see no similarity, because Putin never forsook politics, for four
years he occupied prime ministerial post and, in fact, ruled the
country. Kocharian will be forced to start from zero point if he
returns to politics. This will take time, as well as financial and
political support. I am sure Prosperous Armenia will be the party to
endorse him. If the rumors on his comeback are not confirmed by fall,
they will never be confirmed,' Mr.Tsinker said.
