/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Not pro-western or pro-Russian forces, but followers
of republic’s most optimal development won in Armenia on May 12,
candidate of science, head of the department of international relations
at the Institute of Political and Military Studies Sergey Markedonov
stated in the interview to PanARMENIAN.Net. He said, the opposition,
which Russian media characterizes as mercenaries of the world capital
does not oppose the idea of cooperating with Russia. "Do you really
think that yesterday’s ministers, Prime Ministers, Parliament Speaker,
in other words those who have a rich experience in cooperation with
Moscow will become radicals or Russophobes? It’s another question what
Russia to cooperate with. Those who today oppose Robert Kocharian,
speak for wide openness of Russia, his democracy. After all in many
respects the new democratic Russia guaranteed security for Armenia
at the beginning of 1990ies. Both Armenian opposition representatives
and officials are seriously concerned over the growth of xenophobia in
the Russian capital and regions. Armenian opposition leaders indicate,
and with serious reasons, that how the Armenian establishment copies
the "creative experience" of their Russian colleagues-officials during
preparation and conduction of electoral campaign. Consequently it would
be a great mistake to push off those people from Russia, to turn them
into opponents of Russian interests in Caucasus," Markedonov said.
