>From the point of view of Serzh Sargsyan and the ruling elite Prime
Minister Tigran Sargsyan is lesser of the evils. This is the reason of
Serzh Sargsyan's decision to leave Tigran Sargsyan at his position of
premier, political expert, Ruben Mehrabyan, told Arminfo correspondent.
"I think that the president is guided by the principle "one shouldn't
change houses in midstream". Of course, such an approach contains
certain internal contradiction. Nevertheless, one should take into
consideration that the ruling system contains numerous vulnerable
points, and any sharp movement will become a threat to the stability
of this system. For this reason, Sargsyan avoided sharp movements
and left Tigran Sargsyan at his position of premier", - Mehrabyan said.
He said that today's power system in Armenia consists of a certain
mixture of the checks and balances system between various groups
of interests and influence. Against such a background, a decision to
replace Tigran Sargsyan from the position of prime minister would cause
the unhealthy interest among all the interested groups which would
try to redistribute this balance in favor of themselves. Another not
less important factor in favor of Tigran Sargsyan's remaining at his
position, are the talks on association agreement with the European
Union. "It is no secret, that they have started negotiating when
Sargsyan was a prime minister, and it would be expedient to end the
talks when the latter is still at his position. I think Sargsyan will
be hardly replaced before the ending of all these processes linked
with the EU, but the force-major situations", - Mehrabyan concluded.
