    WHOEVER ARMENIA'S PRESIDENT HE WOULD HAVE MADE SEPTEMBER 3 DECISION - EXPERT

    14:42 * 08.04.14

    Whoever is Armenia's president, he would have made the decision
    Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan made on September 3, 2013, said
    political scientist Alexander Iskandaryan.

    "The decision made on September 3 hardly had anything in common with
    Armenian diplomacy. The decision was made outside Armenia, and Armenia
    had no alternative," Iskandaryan said at a debate.

    According to him, when Russian President Vladimir Putin "arrived in
    Baku nearly on an aircraft carrier," and the issue of the gas price
    was on the agenda, anyone would have done what Serzh Sargsyan did.

    Armenia, which had adopted a course of European integration, had done
    excellent work in drafting an Association Agreement with the European
    Union. However, the miscalculation was that the authorities failed
    to consider the possibility of the process being stopped at any moment.

    Richard Giragosian, Founding Director of the Regional Studies Center
    (RSC), believes that the September 3 decision has been Armenia's most
    serious political setback the in the past four years.

    As to Armenia's foreign policy achievements, they are mostly due to
    setbacks of others, particularly Turkey and Azerbaijan.

    Neither Mr Giragosian nor Mr Iskandaryan agrees with the experts
    that claim that Armenia's premier resigned under the pressure of
    external factors, particularly that of Russia, and his resignation
    is a follow-up to the Kazakh and Kyrgyz premiers' resignations.

    Moscow had nothing in common with the Armenian premier's resignation,
    the experts said.
