ARMENIA'S RULING PARTY TO FACE INTERNAL STRUGGLE FOLLOWING PRESIDENTIAL VOTE - ANALYST
February 07, 2013 | 13:51
YEREVAN. - Everyone in the ruling Republican Party (RPA) is working for
the party candidate, incumbent President Serzh Sargsyan until election
day on February 18. After that, however, Sargsyan will be considered
an outgoing president, and therefore politics in Armenia could start
anew solely at that time. Political and electoral technology specialist
Armen Badalyan said this during a press conference on Thursday.
In his words, following the presidential vote, a variety of factions
within RPA will commence working for themselves.
"Some potential political developments could unroll at that time.
[And] if [they do] occur, solely the external forces will benefit
[from this], [and] if they do something here. But I see that the
external forces stand to gain nothing; everything is unrolling as
they want," Badalyan said.
The political analysts added that, due to the present-day societal
disposition, nothing could be changed in Armenia.
