The Russian presidential polls are unlikely to have a direct impact on electoral processes in Armenia, according to Alexander Iskandaryan, a political analyst.
At a news conference on Monday, the expert said that Russia will keep working with Armenia’s newly elected authorities after the May parliamentary polls (which also imply a change of cabinet).
Considering Vladimir Putin’s victory a “change of situation”, he admitted that his forecasts on the incumbent premier’s success were 10% inaccurate (Iskandaryan had earlier said that Putin had 55% chances to win in the presidential election).
He said the outcome of the Russian polls will not essentially impact Armenia unless the country announces a foreign policy change. Iskandaryan also ruled out the possibility of any impact on Armenia’s parliamentary election.
