/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Attempts to carry out a ‘color revolution’ were
made in all post soviet states, said Sergey Markov, Director of the
Institute for Political Studies. "This method of seizing the power is
specific to the 21st century with the leading role of media, NGOs and
dependence from outer factors. Armenian opposition would like to replay
the ‘color revolution’ scenario but it has no chances, in my opinion,
since Armenia doesn’t experience a deep political crisis as it was
in Ukraine. Unlike Leonid Kuchma, President Robert Kocharian keeps
the high rating. Besides, opposition doesn’t have bright leaders like
Victor Yushchenko or Mikhael Saakashvili," he said. When commenting
on the possible outcomes of the parliamentary election and Robert
Kocharian’s successor, Sergey Markov said, "Defense Minister Serge
Sargsyan is the most likely presidential contender from the Republican
Party, whose main goal is to accomplish the campaign successfully. In
this case the party will nominate Serge Sargsyan and he will win,"
