    PUBLIC SENTIMENTS NOT TO IMPACT ON POLITICAL SITUATION - ARMENIAN ANALYSTS

    Though the domestic political situation and the public sentiments
    in Armenia add a political context to any topic, it isn't likely to
    change the general political-military situation, a political analyst
    has said, commenting on the clashes that followed a recent car race
    to Nagorno-Karabakh's (Artaskh) Berdzor town.

    "If Azerbaijan is searching for problems inside Armenia and feels joy
    upon finding one, that isn't likely to in any way affect the situation
    on the front," Sergey Minasyan told Tert.am, adding that he even saw
    a solidarity between the society and the political forces on the day
    of the campaign.

    Noting that Nagorno-Karabakh is perceived by many Armenians as
    part of their historical homaland, the expert said he doesn't think
    that those who conducted the race sought in any way to hazard the
    country's security.

    Minasyan added that he doesn't expect the incident to deteriorate
    the relations between the people in Armenia and Nagorno-Karabakh.

    Commenting on the incident, Vardan Devrikyan, a deputy head of the
    National Academy's Institute of Literature and a veteran of the
    Nagorno-Karabakh war, also ruled out the possibility of a separation
    between the people in the two Armenian republics.

    "There have always been people complaining about Armenia's three
    presidents, but that isn't a ground for complaining about one's
    own home country," he said, describing Armenia and Karabakh as two
    different states of a united fatherland.

    Devrikyan said he doesn't think that the Nagorno-Karabakh authorities
    have ever interfered in the domestic political developments in Armenia
    or ever tried to get involved in government-forming processes.

    "What is termed as Artsakh region is very unacceptable," he said,
    commenting on the thesis proposed by the Pre-Parliament group (which
    initiated the car race). "We turn out to serve Azerbaijan's interests
    behind the veil of patriotism by saying that Artsakh is a region
    of the Republic of Armenia," he said, adding that those making the
    statement had not considered possible political implicatins despite
    their honest goals.

    "God grant Artsakh became a part of Armenia," he said, considering
    the civic group's statement untimely for now.
