YEREVAN. – Consolidation of solely pro-western of pro-Russian
political forces in Armenia is not possible among the main
parliamentary and non-parliamentary opposition forces, says political
analyst.

There are a few political groups that have exclusively pro-Russian or
pro-Western position, Sergey Minasyan told Armenian News-NEWS.am.

`Even the most pro-Western parties, for instance Heritage, at the same
time have a tough position on Karabakh issue,’ he noted.

The political analyst did not exclude radicalization of civil society,
as the players are mainly financially dependent on Western donors.

`This is quite possible and natural, but I think no major
consolidation will happen. Even if it happens, it will not play a
decisive role in the political life of Armenia,’ Minasyan concluded.
