ArmInfo. President of Armenia Robert Kocharyan does not see any sings
of gross external interference in the course of the presidential
election in Armenia.

During an interview to local TV channels Kocharyan said that some
foreign states had certain interests in the South Caucasus and gave
preference to one or another candidates based on their programs.
However, they are not interfering in the electoral process: the wave of
"color revolutions" has shown that they can’t improve people’s lives.

On the other hand, the Armenian authorities are conducting
well-balanced policy with respect to their neighbors and have created a
new format of relations with other countries and structures: the United
States, the European Union, etc. In this light, the present Armenian
authorities are regarded as a well-balanced factor, a party one can
cooperate with.

A number of international public organizations showed an inadmissible
approach when working with a single opposition candidate for months.
Now they are showing much more balanced position and are implementing
mostly education programs.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
