Expert: U.S. presidential polls won’t affect ties with Armenia

The U.S. presidential elections reveal the country’s dynamics of the democracy, head of Regional Studies Center (RSC) says.

As Richard Giragosian told October 29 news conference, Armenian-American relations will remain unchanged regardless of the poll results.

Dwelling on the U.S. – Azerbaijani ties, the expert stressed the importance of the oil factor, noting that the Republicans are more inclined to develop the energy business and strengthen relations with Baku.

“Mitt Romney is more dangerous in downplaying the significance of Artsakh issue,” Mr. Giragosian said.
