US President Barack Obama has narrow chances to win the election,
Levon Shirinyan, a political analyst, told reporters on Saturday.
Commenting on the US Presidential elections, the expert said the
democrats' victory would be the best-case scenario in the current race
that sees what he called a struggle between the bad and worst.
Noting that none of the presidential nominees had willingness to meet
with the Armenian lobbyist organizations in the course of their
campaign, Shirinyan said that they probably avoid any obligations in
relation to Armenia and Turkey.
`First, it is linked with the 100th anniversary of the Genocide.
Whichever candidate wins, he doesn't want to be bound by any
obligation to the Armenian Cause,' he said, adding that the approach
does not imply a total neglect of the issue.
`Also, they didn't meet in order to avoid obligations to Turkey and
maintain the levers to suppress the country. That is, they are
suppressing Turkey's appetite for the east, including Armenia,'
Shirinyan explained.
As for the Armenian Cause, the expert proposed two theses in this
connection. Considering the United States a god-loving society, he
called for the Armenian side's efforts to attract the country's
Christians, as well as the Armenians who do not speak their native
tongue.
`That mass has created a demand, so there is nothing to be ashamed of.
We can imitate the Jews who give no attention to the language spoken,'
he added.
The expert noted that the Democrats' relative tolerance to Russia and
Iran would prevent Armenia from finding itself between the devil and
the deep sea.
He said furhter the US National Security Agency's effectiveness could
set a good example to Armenia.
`It is highly important to enhance the analytical and forecasting
factor as in the United States. The agency should not be led by
someone with a party affiliation. It is necessary to have a neutral
body to serve the state, otherwise we will lose,' Shirinyan added.
Convinced about the Democrats success in the elections, the expert
proposed erecting Woodrow Wilson's Statue outside the American
University of Armenia.
`Armenia is full of Bolsheviks' statues that eliminated everything
which is Armenian, whereas Wilson is a man who used his last chance in
support of the Armenian Cause,' he added.
