    RUSSIAN ANALYST: MOSCOW AND YEREVAN TO SERIOUSLY DISCUSS THE MATTER OF SERZH SARGSYAN'S POSSIBLE SUCCESSOR

    The matter of Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan's successor will
    become a topic for serious discussion of Moscow and Yerevan, Russian
    political expert Sergey Markedonov has told ArmInfo.

    "Naturally, the discussion will cover other issues as well. Yerevan
    will immediately raise the issue of its acquisitions and expenses in
    its integration with Russia and the Eurasian partners. I think Moscow
    will be unable to speak in generalities this time," he says.

    The analyst thinks that the Kremlin should give serious considerations
    to the forthcoming electoral cycle in Armenia in 2017-18 and should
    start the preparations beforehand, both strategically and in PR
    campaigns. Markedonov stresses the need to establish contacts with
    all political associations, non-governmental and youth structures of
    the republic.

    Markedonov thinks that Russia should give up constantly declaring
    the success of its alliance with Armenia given the fact that now
    the situation in the Transcaucasia depends on external factors more
    than ever. He says that the fate of the protracted conflicts and the
    prospects of the post-Soviet integration projects are mostly hanging
    in the balance in Donbass.

    "So, along with removing the wrinkles in the Russia-Armenia relations,
    Moscow gives high priority to a positive dynamics in Ukraine, at
    least reached through long-term "freezing" of the conflict around
    the Luhansk and Donetsk regions," he says.
