    I would pick Serj over Raffi any day. Serj has proven over and over again that he is a step or two ahead of other world leaders. Serj has military experience in kharabagh, he has diplomatic experience, he has a proven tract record of domestic reform and using world events to Armenia's advantage. Raffi is the armenian version of Shakasville or another version of LTP. We have seen what happens to nations led by such people and i very much doubt we want the same things to happen in Armenia again. Sure Raffi promises jobs and pensions but what polititions doesn't?


    Serj being re-elected will not be a disaster but we will have more of the same.

    Unfortunately for him he needs to rely on too many dodgy characters which are excess luggage for the nation.

    Not sure about the Saakashvily bit.
    Everybody knows there is no room for such characters in the Caucasus any more courtesy to Russia.

      subject to personal egos of course.

      Bagratyan should stick strictly to internal policies lest we forget he is/was affiliated with HAK.

        Being able double cross and change sides is an inherent “quality” politicians have pursuant of power.

        Bagratyan has already double crossed HAK by participating in this election.

                Those dodgy characters were there before Serj and will be there after Serj. These characters are a natural part of capitalism America had Rockafeller we got Dodi Gago-America had J.P. Morgan we got Rubo. As for the Shaakashvily types going extinct - well i wouldn't count on it. There will always be someone looking to profit at the expense of his people.

                  Serzh Sargsyan candidature meets the interest of West and Russia:
                  Sergey Markedonov

                  13:56, 15 February, 2013

                  YEREVAN, FEBRUARY 15, ARMENPRESS: Neither Russia nor West have an
                  impact on the electoral processes taking place in Armenia. Sergey
                  Markedonov, Russian expert on the Caucasus Center for Strategic and
                  International Studies in Washington told in the briefing with
                  Armenpress reporter.

                  ''Both Russia and West are favoring Sargsyan's candidature. In one
                  hand there is an established cooperation with Russia, and agreement to
                  continue deployment of Russian military base in Armenia. What refers
                  to West, they are also considering Sargsyan best candidate of
                  Armenia's February 18 Presidential elections, considering him
                  flexible candidate. Political scientist deems considerable Serzh
                  Sargsyan is sober-minded and never crosses the hot lines. ''When
                  Sargsyan does not like something, he never rejects it , instead offers
                  '' Let us try''. Sargsyan is flexible, therefore meets the interest of
                  the West and Russia. The candidate seems to be acceptable almost by
                  all.

                  Presidential elections are due in Armenia on February 18.

                      This is different given how Russia and the west have been trying to impose their own cronnies. If indeed both sides are satisfied with the same leader then this is indeed new.
