Armenian President could not say if the change of power in the  country could influence the dialogue with Baku 

ArmInfo.Armenian President Armen Sargsyan found it difficult to say whether a change of power in the country could influence the dialogue with Baku. 

In his opinion, the answer to this question is known only to God. 

In an interview with Ekho Moscow, to comment that this is the most  exciting issue, Sarkissian said in particular: "Naturally, we have  too many "if"s. "There will be a meeting of the parliament on May 8.  If Mr. Pashinyan, that to me it seems likely very, very possibly,  will be elected prime minister, the Constitution and laws we have  made so that all the executive power of the prime minister, that is,  the political program, must be defined within the government.  "Another thing is the president, given his diplomatic experience and  experience of international I will be glad to express my opinion, and  I will express myself very specifically when I see that the processes  are going in the direction of violations or the Constitution or the  law or the interests of the people. Just because my role is that. 

He also did not comment on the concerns of the Armenian society that  Azerbaijan can take advantage of this situation in Armenia. 

Sarkissian stressed that knows President Ilham Aliyev personally and  quite well. "But the situation and politics are such, the moment is  very sensitive, that is, to exclude the growth of tension in Artsakh  is impossible in any case, which means that from the very first day  the government should seriously take this action." To ensure the  security of the borders, the support from the republic (inaudible)  was on place, and nothing has changed, on the other hand this leads  us to the topic of our relations with Russia, Russia is a strategic  and military-political partner of Armenia.We all know that the army  in Armenia is very close to the Russian army. There are probably some  small things from NATO or from China, but this is a real strong army,  and Armenia and Russia are members of the same security organization.  third, of course, the military base and the protection of the borders  between Armenia and Turkey.I can very simply say that this military  base on the territory of Armenia, the Russian base, is necessary for  Armenia.I said before, I'm not sure whether Russia needs it or not,  it is up to Russia, the president and the government to decide, but  Armenia needs it. And I think it is necessary for Russian-Armenian  relations. Because knowing where this base is, how close it is to our  border between Armenia and Turkey, that is why I will always support  and struggle to ensure that these friendly fraternal and  military-political relations remain strong, "Sarkissian concluded.
