    WHY DO THEY NOT TRUST SARGSYAN?

    The numbers released by the Russian centre of public opinion study,
    in accordance with which only three percent of the Russian citizens
    trust Serge Sargsyan was obviously left out of the attention of the
    governmental propaganda machine. But doubtlessly, this survey could not
    be overlooked by the government because it was a transparent hint at
    the foreign policy led by Serge Sargsyan which started to make Russia
    nervous. The three percent of trust towards Serge Sargsyan is the
    expression of the very nervousness and a second opinion cannot be here.

    But does it regard only the foreign policy? Or maybe everything is much
    deeper. Overall, Serge Sargsyan does not seem to have made anti-Russian
    steps. Moreover, if Russians wanted, he refused participating in the
    NATO Georgian military exercises at the very last moment and joined
    immediately the CSTO fast response forces, allocated the right to the
    construction of a new power plant in Armenia to Russia. So, which is
    the reason why Russia does not trust Serge Sargsyan?

    But before trying to think about the answer to this question, another
    answer is worth being thought about first: which Russia does not trust
    Serge Sargsyan. Let it not seem an exaggeration but today there are
    two Russias- the one of Dmitri Medvedev and the one of Vladimir Putin.

    And these Russias seem to be in an apparent war and there are already
    victims - terror actions and murders in the North Caucasus, continuous
    assassinations of enterprisers in Moscow, fire in a night club of
    Perm. Russia has long been in a permanent process of assassinations,
    accidents and terrorism which was considered an overcome period with
    the help of Putin's rough policy and strong fist. No one knows the
    reason why terrorist actions again became regular in the countries
    of the North Caucuses, there have even been ordered murders in the
    centre of Moscow, terrorism was transported from North Caucasus to
    Russian central cities.

    How this can be called if not a war? Of course, no one declared a war,
    neither Putin nor Medvedev did. But, doubtlessly, the question why
    in case Putin had stopped what again rose up after several months of
    Medvedev's tenure will occur to an ordinary Russian citizen. And this
    ordinary Russian citizen will find the logic answer: Putin managed to
    solve those issues while Medvedev fails. And since the point is about
    life and death, this ordinary citizen will start dreaming about the
    restoration of Putin's complete power.

    Such is the Russian logic. This is the current Russian atmosphere.

    Consequently, in order to understand the reason why Serge Sargsyan
    enjoys only 3 percent of the trust of the "Russian residents", we
    need perhaps to understand which "Russian residents" they are. From
    this point, the situation is very interesting. The attitude of the
    Putin's wing of the Russian power was seen at the two congresses of
    the Armenian Republican and Russian Yedinaya Rossia parties. The
    point is that Yedinaya Rossia which Putin heads invited to its
    congress delegates from both the Republican Party and the Bargavach
    Hayastan party. But no one knows why, the Republican presented to
    that congress at a very low level - the parliamentary members Gagik
    Melikyan and Bardan Ayvazyan presented it who do not have even a post
    in the RA executive body. Instead, Gagik Tsarukyan represented his
    party in Moscow.

    The "response" of the Yedinaya Rossia was not noteworthy as well. The
    vice speaker of the Russian State Duma Artur Chilingarov represented
    Yedinaya Rossia party at the RP congress. Chilingarov in Russia is
    a person who does not exist in politics. Besides, Chilingarov is an
    Armenian, in other words, sending Chilingarov to the RP congress,
    Yedinaya Rossia hinted that the point is only about a "gathering of
    Armenians". Besides, not the leader of the Yedinaya Rossia Vladimir
    Putin but Boris Grizlov conveyed greetings to the RP congress. Let
    us agree that this is not so natural for the relations between two
    leading parties of two strategical partner countries.

    But at the same time, the attitude of Medvedev's wing to Serge
    Sargsyan is almost unknown and unclear. If Putin has underscored
    his cold behavior to the Armenian leadership on several occasions
    not having visited Armenia after assuming the office of the prime
    minister for about two years, so Medvedev has never given emphasis
    on his dissatisfaction at the same time not showing his support to
    Serge Sargsyan.

    Both wings of the Russian government are not ruled out to have the same
    opinion in trusting Serge Sargsyan. In other words, both of them think
    Serge Sargsyan's policy does not stem from the Russian interests and
    trusting him becomes dangerous. This means that Serge Sargsyan will
    be find himself in difficulties when trying to overcome this problem
    using the Russian inner-governmental evident disagreements because
    there seem to be no disagreement related to himself personally. The
    Russian governmental wings are possible to have disagreements in
    connection with the future which keeps Russia back from making its
    dissatisfaction practical and tangible.
