YEREVAN. – As a US citizen, Regional Studies Center Director, political analyst Richard Giragosian is disappointed by US President Barack Obama’s recent message that was addressed to Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan, Giragosian himself noted during a press conference on Tuesday.

“If you read Obama’s entire message, [you will see that] it is not a full congratulations to President Serzh Sargsyan; the problems that existed in this [Armenian presidential] election [that was conducted on February 18] are recalled in it. President Obama was not even aware that such letter was sent. In other words, the president of Mozambique likewise receives a similar letter,” he noted. 

Giragosian also stressed that the Armenians have a big problem to solve, and they should be tired of waiting for what Russian President Vladimir Putin, or President Obama say, and that Armenia’s democracy should be compared with Armenian standards.
