ArmInfo. "Levon Ter-Petrosyan’s victory at the presidential election
will have no negative effect on the Armenian-Russian relations",
Leader of the oppositional People’s Party of Armenia (PPA) Stepan
Demirchyan told ArmInfo correspondent.

According to him, the PPA’s position is distinct – the strategic
partnership with Russia is very important for Armenia, and not
a single serious politician in the country can come out against
it. "Levon Ter-Petrosyan made no anti-Russian statements. Moreover,
the relations with Russia were at a quite high level during his term
in office", said Demirchyan.

Speaking of the external factor’s impact on the pre-electoral
campaign in Armenia, the oppositionist stressed that this factor
should never been overestimated. "All problems are solved inside the
country. Nothing doing if there is no public support in the country",
Demirchyan said in conclusion.
