The political course of the new ruling force in Armenia does not take to breaking relations with Russia, which is very important, expert, chief scholar of World Economy and International Relations Institute of Russian Academy of Sciences Alexander Krilov said at the discussion today.

“The forces aiming to come to power were voicing slogans including ones on keeping distance from Russia and changing the political course. But we see that after they came to power their slogans changed which is quite objective as breaking relations with Russia does not stem from Armenia’s national interests. It will be like a suicide,” he said.

He stressed that Armenia is passing through the stage of formation of new relations, new leaders have come forth, the PM has the support of the parliamentary majority, thus new prospects open for reforms in Armenia.
