From the point of view of traditional Armenian politics, the RA
President Robert Kocharian is taken as alien by the majority of
citizens, according to the report of the Crisis Issues Group
international organization. The report states that the closest team-mate
of RA President is Serge Sargsian, the Defense Minister, who is often
taken as the real president of Armenia due to his strong influence on
politics, economy and relations with Russia. The experts believe that
there may be contradictions between Kocharian and Sargsian; however
"they are so dependent on one another that can hardly jeopardize their
relations".
According to the authors of the report, the Republican Party is the
strongest and probably is most inclined to betray the coalition. Its aim
is to preserve the power in economy. As far as Orinats Yerkir Party is
concerned, it is characterized as a party of right orientation headed by
Arthur Baghdasaryan, the Speaker of RA NA, who was favoured with
approval of West and France, in particular. "Baghdasaryan does not have
the support of the police and the Army, however in 2008 he may be the
successor of Kocharian", think the authors of the report. The report
also states that Armenian Revolutionary Federation Dashnaktsutjun is
very close to Kocharian's clan. The party considers it necessary to
strengthen the security and has an anti-Turkish orientation. The report
also mentions the split up of the Armenian opposition. Opposition
parties rely on people who are associated with clans, formed before and
after the declaration of independence in Armenia. "Opposition is not
taken as a real alternative and should change its image", states the
report.
