The key reason for the Armenian speakers leaving from the government coalition is his intention to take an active part in the parliamentary and presidential elections, the chairman of Democratic Reforms Party, MP Asim Mollazade, said. He was commenting on the resignation of Armenian Speaker Artur Bagdasarian, and a crisis arisen in the Armenian government, Trend reports.
He noted that the last developments in the Armenian government are preparations for the parliamentary and presidential elections. The forces striving for participation in the elections have been determined and even Kocharian intends to nominate his candidacy. A struggle of political parties for presidency will start. One of reasons for Bagdasarians resignation is linked with his intention of as an oppositionist to take an active part in presidential and parliamentary elections, he said.
He noted that the reason for absence of progress in the resolution of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict was linked with activities of Kocharians activities.
In his turn Rasim Musabayov, a political scientist said that when the pint reaches the adoption of an unfavorable resolution in the resolution of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, the Armenians are used to win time through internal fictions. He did not exclude that the similar developments in the current Armenian government.
Meanwhile, Musabayov said that collapse of Kocharians power does not seem real for the time being, as the force bodies of the country are under the control of Kocharian-Sarkisian tandem. He did not rule a serious chaos within the country.
This is a bilateral process. On the one hand the people in Armenia are sick and tired of the current situation in Armenia, which makes the authorities elected through democratic way to search other ways. It crosses through the settlement of the problem with Azerbaijan, Musabayov stressed.
He does not expect tension in Armenia to cause changes in the government soon. Using his capacities Kocharian will try to collapse the party led by ex speaker and maintain the parliamentary majority. It testifies for weakening of Kocharian's regime, he underlined.
According to Zardust Alizade, a political scientist, the Armenian did not resign on his own will. I suppose there was an agreement. It is a manifestation of Russias pressure. It can be caused by a rise in Russian gas prices. Armenian wants to show that the number of anti-Russian forces might grow in Armenia if Moscow continues economic pressures. This is a game, Alizade underlined.
He also noted that the ongoing political developments in Armenian will not affect the negotiation process on Nagorno-Karabakh conflict resolution, as Armenia does not take a unilateral position.
