Only in the fall of 2011 can we expect heated political debates, when there will be “signals” from Russia; until then, critical political developments are not possible, said PR company president Armen Badalyan, while speaking to journalists today.
PR specialist Karen Kocharyan, in turn, noted that “heated” and other similar characterizations are made by journalists, since the field is so stagnant that journalists themselves attempt to invent such formulas.
“In reality, everything is calm; there’s always a fight in political parties, but to characterize it as critical or heated is not worth it,” added Kocharyan.
According to Badalyan, only Russia can be conditioned by any political threat in Armenia.
“Next year at this time, wait for the Kremlin’s signals, but I can’t say what Putin will put a stake on this time,” he said.
Asked by Epress.am if it’s possible to hold early presidential elections in the near future, Badalyan said:
“If for whatever reason, a force majeure situation is created, an extraordinary [early] election will be possible, but don’t wait [for it], nothing will happen.”
