So, in Armenia the process of the change of power has come to the end through the popular rejection of the usurpation factor. And we should admit, in this case, Armenians not only on the streets, but also in high offices, showed how to conduct a dialogue. The rare case, when for all the disadvantages of Sargsyan about him you can say - he left beautifully, writes in his LJ blogger Evil Odessit.

However, that this change gives on a more global scale and in the first turn for Ukraine. After all, it's no secret that Armenia on many political issues has always taken the side of Russia, including in the UN, historically supporting the outcast country.

And here, it would seem, the great hour of pro-Western politicians and public figures. For example, the same Nikol Pashinyan, who led the protests in Armenia, and who is the leader of the liberal "Elk" party, which shows pro-Western views, has less than 10% of the votes in the Armenian parliament, namely 9 seats out of 105. The majority of the party "Republican Party of Armenia" and "Block Tsarukyan", 58 and 31 seats respectively.

Of course, it can now be said that violations and outbursts in favor of the party of power were committed in the elections, but for all that it is impossible to deny that the revolutionaries did not have an absolute majority and will not. And this indicates that in the next, early parliamentary elections, the "Elk" will gain more votes than in 2017, but the competition with the old system will continue and I'm not sure that in favor of a new political force. Yes, and Sargsyan's replacement by a person connected with Gazprom is not about that, but simply shouts. But the reaction of the opposition to the appointment of "and. "Karen Karapetyan was very calm.

Just do not forget that the epicenter of the people's opposition to power was Yerevan, the cultural capital of the country, the concentration of the critically thinking majority and the intelligentsia of Armenia. Outside the capital, as they say, everything becomes not so clear.

But, let's return to the question of "the orbit of Russia" and here everything is quite simple. However much we like it, the new political force will not be able to change anything in the foreign policy of its country. After depriving Yerevan of Moscow's support, tomorrow Azerbaijan, with the support of Turkey, will loudly declare its claims to Nagorno-Karabakh. And any movement aside will be stopped from the Kremlin, which will manipulate the Karabakh factor aki venerable puppeteer.

Therefore, the Armenians stopped the usurpation of power at the local level, and unfortunately, they do not have the right to usurp the independence of the country, for they will lose it as such. And, in principle, whether it was a struggle for the pro-Western vector of the country's development or just the opposition did not like the third, let it be premier, but Sargsyan's term is an open question.
