Hayots Ashkharh daily has conducted an interview with President Gevorg
Poghosyan of the Armenian Sociological Association.

In parallel with the approach of elections [in Armenia], the
predictions greatly increase. What are your views on them?

Countless predictions are made. But after the elections it will
become clear for all that those are empty talk. The main cause for
uncertainty [in Armenia] is the still continuing uncertainty in
Russia. As it is expected, once Yedinaya Rossiya [Party] reaches
a decision in mid-September as to whom it will nominate, certitude
would come about in Armenia, too.

If Putin is nominated as presidential candidate, the chance of early
presidential elections would increase [in Armenia]. But if Medvedev is
becomes the candidate, then, as is scheduled, we would have the next
parliamentary and, only after that, the presidential elections. It
is indisputable that political developments in Armenia are attached
with many strings to the realities in Russia.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
