ArmInfo. ‘I am more than sure that America’s foreign policy little
depends on the party affiliation of U.S. president’, Armen Ashotyan,
a member of the Republican Party of Armenia Council, told ArmInfo.

He said the administration will probably revise the instruments it used
in our regions. Maybe softer methods of influence will be applied:
‘However, the strategic interests of the USA do not change with the
replaced administration. Nevertheless, I think that Armenian-American
relations have a change to get new quality’, he said.

‘As regards the recognition of Armenian Genocide by the USA, I will be
more restrained here. Unfortunately, the Armenian Diaspora has enough
negative experience of lobbying candidates for president who promised
to recognize the Genocide but did not fulfill their promise. I hope
Barack Obama is an exception>, A. Ashotyan said.
