Looking for the "Russian trace" in the attempt on a candidate for
Armenian president, Paruyr Hayrikyan, is at least strange, Russian
political expert, Andrey Areshev, said over today's televised bridge
Yerevan-Moscow "Shot on candidate. Armenian campaign under threat?".
"I have got an impression that Hayrikyan has been still fighting the
USSR and KGB, having forgotten that they do not exist any more for
more than 20 years. Moreover, any electoral worsening of the situation
in Armenia is not beneficial to Russia, as Armenia is its military
and political ally in the Caucasus", - Areshev said and added that
Russia has been always conducting the policy of non-interference in
the internal affairs of Armenia.
He also added that the contacts between Russia and Armenia have become
more active for the last period of time, but not everybody are pleased
with it. In this context, such a strange attempt and its interpretation
by certain mass media, cannot but cause questions. "I have got an
impression that domestic political tension in Armenia is beneficial to
somebody and may be used for manipulation with public mood", - he said.
To recall, Paruyr Hayrikyan said that the assassination attempt on
him was organized by Russian secret services.
