    KONSTANTIN ZATULIN: SERZH SARGSYAN WILL HAVE TO REPLACE HIS PRIME MINISTER DURING HIS SECOND TERM

    It is time for the political elite of Armenia to realize that the
    current post- election situation may affect the country and it is
    necessary to seek consensus with the opposition, says Konstantin
    Zatulin, Director of the Institute of CIS Countries, in an interview
    with ArmInfo.

    He is sure that change of power would have harmful effect on
    Armenia, as a spontaneous unmanageable force will come to replace
    the legitimately elected authorities.

    "Long-term destabilization of the domestic political situation is
    inadmissible for Armenia, for the country is between two enemies,
    Azerbaijan and Turkey. The political elite must realize this,"
    he said. Zatulin stressed the necessity of a series of political
    consultations between the authorities and the opposition.

    As regards Raffi Hovannisian, Leader of Heritage Party, who took
    the second place in the presidential election, Zatulin said: "Leader
    of Heritage Party Raffi Hovannisian does not want to admit that he
    received such quantity of votes just because there were no serious
    opponents. He received also the votes of Levon Ter-Petrosyan, Gagik
    Tsarukyan, who refused to run for president."

    The expert said that by shaking the political situation in the country
    Hovannisian may lose the votes given to him. In addition, it is very
    dangerous, he said.

    Commenting on the rumors that Moscow is discontented at Prime Minister
    Tigran Sargsyan who maybe replaced for that reason, Zatulin said
    that such politician as Serzh Sargsyan, undoubtedly, realizes the
    necessity of changes.

    "President of Armenia realizes that he will have to replace the prime
    minister during his second term. The country's economic policy vector
    for the coming 5 years and its cooperation with allies depend on
    future prime minister," Zatulin said.
