EURASIANET CITES RSC IN STORY ON FORMER ARMENIAN PRESIDENT

In a story for EurasiaNet.org, Marianna Grigoryan’s article entitled, “Armenia: Contemplating Kocharian’s Second Coming,” cites RSC Director Richard Giragosian. The RSC Director commented on speculation in Yerevan that former Armenian President Robert Kocharian ma be “angling to make a political comeback,” explaining that he saw “little possibility for any such change” as “the legacy of the 2008 political violence is probably too big an obstacle to overcome for Kocharian.” He went on to add that “most Armenians hold Kocharian personally and politically responsible” for the violence and bloodshed of March 2008, and “as his public position has seriously faded, so, too, has his role in being a relevant political figure. Rather, what is more likely is his continued attempt to influence politics” from behind the scenes.
