ROBERT KOCHARYAN WILL CONTINUE TO HAVE GREAT INFLUENCE
Lragir, Armenia
Dec 4 2006
Garnik Isagulyan, adviser to the president of Armenia, reasserted
December 4 at the Friday Club his statement made several months ago
that Robert Kocharyan will continue to have great influence on the
political sphere of Armenia. Garnik Isagulyan did not specify the
status with which Robert Kocharyan is going to exercise influence.
One may think that Isagulyan does not know the answer. However, he
also declines to answer the questions on his own future and the future
of the National Security Party he leads. For instance, the reporters
wanted to know whom Isagulyan and his party are going to support,
the Republican Party or the Bargavach Hayastan Party. "I think we have
already decided with whom we are going to be. You will learn it when
it is time," only said Garnik Isagulyan, avoiding definite answers.
On the other hand, his definite answers are not important because
they often have nothing to do with the reality. For instance, in his
previous news conference in October Garnik Isagulyan forecast that
the political processes would not be passionate, there would be some
activity in November which would diminish by New Year. November did
not appear to differ from October or September, and since Garnik
Isagulyan also makes strategic and political forecasts for the
president of Armenia, we considered it necessary to find out why his
forecast on activity in November did not come true. The answer is
interesting in the sense if his forecasts for the president are as
precise. Of course, Garnik Isagulyan disagreed that he had forecast
activity in November. He even said he had forecast activity after
November. And generally he advised not to have great expectations,
"It is pointless to speak about hot autumns and springs, and the
greatest activity is now." And those who think otherwise are mistaken.
