YEREVAN.- Armenia is moving through the way leading to a stalemate. Elections will change nothing, they will simply state the facts, political analyst Richard Giragosian believes.

Asked about possible changes in country’s foreign policy, he noted that there is interesting contradiction.

“It will be hard to implement foreign policy, even taking into account mistakes of Turkey and Azerbaijan,” he told reporters on Saturday, stressing low level of debates and discussions in Armenia.

Head of Regional Studies Center said we are making a huge mistake comparing democratic achievements with Azerbaijan.

“The lesion of Afghanistan and Iraq has shown that democracy cannot be implemented from the outside. Democracy has to come from Armenia and to be for Armenia. We are moving in the right direction, but not fast enough,” Giragosian said, adding that there are problems which are not discussed, in particular those concerning economic and political reforms.

The political analyst is much more interested in processes following presidential vote. Serzh Sargsyan has no “heir”, he is representative of the last political elite. New political elite will carry out new policy, Giragosian concluded.
