To gather 15 thousand rally in Gyumri, 10 thousand in Vanadzor and 5
thousand in Kapan is simply heroism, as one cannot compare rallies in
Yerevan with rallies in the regions, political expert Stepan Grigoryan
said at today's press-conference when speaking about the political
meetings of the leader of the Heritage party Raffi Hovannisian.
He said that Hovannisian will never go to concession with the
authorities in exchange for any position. He did not agree to the
viewpoint of other experts that the votes given for Raffi Hovannisian
are against Serzh Sargsyan. "These are his votes, though it will be
difficult to keep them, and only if they go on fighting, they will
manage to keep these votes", - Grigoryan said.
When touching on foreign policy of Armenia, he said that president of
Armenia has been conducting a very much balanced policy with the West
and Russia. At the same time, he did not rule out pressure on Serzh
Sargsyan from the side of Russia during his visit to Moscow on 12
March.
