On the other hand, the question of whether the silence would still
continue after his strongest rival former foreign minister Raffi
Hovhannissian who got 36 percent declared his "victory".

Incumbent President Serzh Sargsyan triumphed the Armenian presidential
election with 58.64 percent of the vote.
Winning second consecutive election victory, Sargsyan will be the
president of Armenia for five more years. However, silence dominates
the country as supporters of Sargsyan haven't celebrated the victory.
Although Sargsyan triumphed over his rival with 22 percent, Sargsyan
didn't go to the headquarters of the Republican Party following the
results of the polls and didn't make a statement, which took great
attention.
On the other hand, the question of whether the silence would still
continue after his strongest rival former foreign minister Raffi
Hovhannissian who got 36 percent declared his "victory".
One other point that draws attention is the votes of leader of the
Union for National Self-Determination Paruyr Hayrikyan being stuck
at 1.3 percent which shows that the armed attack against him did not
influence the voters.
It is not difficult to guess Armenia and Russia will be in close
cooperation in the new term especially in security related matters,
because Sargsyan defined their relations as "strategic" with Russia
whereas he defined their relationship with USA and EU to be in the
framework of "good neighbors."
One of the arguments of Sargsyan during his propaganda was Nagorno
Karabakh, Azeri land under occupation. There seems very low possibility
of any move to resolve the Nagorno Karabakh conflict in the new term
as Sargsyan has always claimed it belonged to Armenia and as he will
have Russian support.
