Republicans victory in U.S. more advantageous for Armenia – expert

The victory of a candidate from the Republican Party in the U.S. presidential elections would be more advantageous for Armenia, than that of the current president, Barack Obama, a political analyst said.

According to Stepan Grigoryan, the Republicans are more active in the foreign policy than the Democrats, who prefer to concentrate on domestic problems.

Grigoryan added that if Russia were the only actor in the South Caucasus, the problem of Nagorno Karabakh could be settled in favor of Azerbaijan. “The existence of several major actors such as Russia, the U.S. and the European Union, will give Armenia an opportunity to maneuver,” he said.

The expert also noted that the U.S. Armenian community tends to elect Obama, who is “a wrong choice.”
