PanARMENIAN.Net - Ex-president Robert Kocharian will be the first one
to benefit from former foreign minister, a leading figure in
Prosperous Armenia party Vartan Oskanian's removal through stripping
him of parliamentary immunity, Hraparak daily said.
According to the daily, Kocharian has miscalculated a possibility of
Mormon candidate Mitt Romey winning the presidential race, which the
experts are highly skeptical about.
On the other hand, Kocharian's relations with Russia are also at a low
point. Oskanian's removal will untie Kocharian's hands, with
Prosperous Armenia reassuming pro-Russian stance.
`All of the above explains why Kocharian hasn't made an official
statement on Oskanian's case, trying to prove his adherence to Russia,
which is what Moscow demands of Armenian leadership, the opposition
and Prosperous Armenia,' the daily said.
