YEREVAN, JUNE 6, NOYAN TAPAN. Political scientist Alexander Iskandarian
does not expect any serious results from the unofficial meeting of
the RA president Serge Sargsian and Azerbaijan’s leader in Saint
Petersburg. As he said at the June 6 press conference, it is yet
another political process, in which the states have to participate.
As for the internal political situation, A. Iskandarian noted
that the stage of the postelection developments is not yet over in
Armenia. According to him, it will either finish or be interrupted
in the summer.
A. Isakndarian did not consider the possibility of Armenia’s being
derprived of voting right at the CE in case of nonfulfilment of
resolution 1609 as realistic. In his words, the resolution does not
insist on immediate fulfilement of the indicated points. "As regards
the opposition, it is stated in the resolution that it must accept
legitimacy of the authorities but the opposition does not do so,"
A. Iskandarian said. He called resolution 1609 a political process,
noting that one can hardly imagine any sweeping changes as a result
of it.
