YEREVAN.- Former Armenia’s President Robert Kocharyan does not rule out possibility that he would return to big politics.

In an interview with Armenian Mediamax agency he commented on recent speculations about possibility of his return in the context of Putin-Medvedev swap of power.

“I am amazed that my possible return is linked to political processes in Russia. And this happens immediately after the celebration of the 21st anniversary of Armenia’s independence? I am sure political processes should ripen here in Armenia, and not be directly projected from outside.

I don’t rule out the possibility of my return to big politics. However, only three major factors may force me to return and not the events going on in other country which is very close and important for Armenia. These three factors are:

1. the absence of a tangible and stable improvement of the situation in country’s economy and people’s welfare, and consequently the growth of hopeless moods and migration;

2. the demand for my return to big politics by various layers of the society;

3. my inner belief that I can radically improve the situation.

The ways of return to active politics may vary given these three factors.

Other circumstances only add a political resource but are not fundamental,” he said.
