PanARMENIAN.Net – No significant changes can be expected in Russia’s
policy both in Armenian-Russian relations and within the CIS states,
CIS States Institute Yerevan subsidiary director said.
“The leadership has changed, but the content of the political
cabinet remained the same, in fact,” Alexander Markarov said during
a Yerevan-Moscow-Astana-Minsk-Kyiv-Chisinau teleconference.
The political analyst believes the relations will develop actively
in political, economic and humanitarian spheres, as well as within
the framework of international treaties and agreements.
He reminded that the newly elected Russian president Vladimir Putin
is already invited to Armenia for an official visit. According to
the Central Election Commission of Russia, Vladimir Putin gained
63.6 percent of the vote while his closest rival Gennady Zyuganov
secured 17.18 percent in March 4 presidential election. Independent
candidate Mikhail Prokhorov secured 7.98 percent, Liberal Democratic
Party leader Vladimir Zhirinovsky 6.22 percent, and A Just Russia
Party leader Sergei Mironov, 3.85 percent.
