    YEREVAN, APRIL 30, NOYAN TAPAN. The Armenian Center for National
    and International Studies (ACNIS) convened a discussion entitled
    "The Recent Unrest in Kyrgyzstan: Are There Lessons for Armenia?" on
    April 29. ACNIS Administrative Director Karapet Kalenchian said that
    depsite the fact that Kyrgyzstan is one of the poorest post-Soviet
    countries, it has an important geopolitical position, and in this
    respect the change of the authorities in this country is of concern
    for other countries in the region.

    ACNIS senior expert Manvel Sargsyan said the events in Kyrgyzstan
    caused serious alarm in the whole post-Soviet territory, which is
    also evident from various high-level opinions and comments voiced
    in connection with these events. In his words, the Russian president
    addressed the problem several times, expressing concern and even making
    forecasts that such events may also take place in other countries. "The
    presidents of Belarus and Georgia made statements.

    Even the Armenian police chief rudely warned society "not to harbor
    such thoughts", the Armenian obmudsman also made a statement," M.
    Sargsyan noted.

    In his opinion, all this shows that everybody is concerned about the
    Kyrgyz events because they are not a colored revolution and have no
    relation to elections. M. Sargsyan said that following these events,
    both the state system and society collapsed in Kyrgyzstan.

    He underlined that no one can ruin a state, unless it is already on
    the brink of ruin. According to him, what happened in Kyrgyzstan was a
    protest, a "riot" rather than a political process because "the forces
    that have now become the formal authorities have little influence on
    that country and its society".
