Ara Abrahamyan, President of the Union of Russian Armenians, has
declared that "the West will certainly try to influence the process
and results of the forthcoming elections in Armenia, but many things
will depend on the outcome of the Russian-Georgian confrontation." Ara
Abrahamyan said this in an interview with the "Novoye Russkoye Slovo"
newspaper, Mediamax agency reports.
"I think that despite the undisputable economic and military
attractiveness of the West, Russia has more supporters in the South
Caucasus, especially in Armenia. It’s not accidental that influential
politicians stand for the maintenance of close political and economic
relations with Russia. First and foremost, this refers to President
Robert Kocharyan and Defense Minister Serge Sargsyan," Ara Abrahamyan
declared.
