Russia’s influence in Armenia will remain unchanged, even if the Armenian National Congress (ANC) opposition bloc rose to power, a political analyst at European Integration NGO believes.

As Manvel Ghumashyan told a news conference in Yerevan, “I don’t see how any political force could change Russia’s influence when coming to power.”

The expert further listed Republican Party of Armenia (RPA), ANC and Prosperous Armenia party as possible winning candidates at oncoming parliamentary elections.
