ArmInfo. The domestic political situation in Armenia is rather stable
and there are no threats of destabilization, Ambassador Sergey Kapinos,
Head of the OSCE Office in Yerevan, told media when commenting on
the statement by the first president of Armenia Levon Ter-Petrosyan
who predicted extraordinary parliamentary and presidential elections.

The diplomat believes that economic crisis seriously affected Armenia,
first of all, because of the slump of money transfers from abroad,
where many Armenians work. S. Kapinos believes that economy of Armenia
proved not so effective, modern and dynamics as one could think
on the basis of the GDP growth. "All this, indeed, creates certain
social tension. There are also other factors creating tension, for
instance, normalization of relations with Turkey. However, I do not
predict any high tension that could lead to extraordinary elections,"
Sergey Kapinos said.
