Gagik Tsarukian's interview with Regnum.ru is all the rage in the Russian language Armenian blogosphere. I hope that he does not really think what he says. It would be sad if the control of Armenia was given to someone with such a puppy like devotion to Russia. If you thought that Kocharian was close to treason for his devotion to the Russians, just wait till Tsarukian 'wins' the elections.
Here is the English version translated by Google. There obviously are some problems with it but you can get the main idea.

Although somewhat interestingly, Artashes Geghamian, Stepan Demirchian, Aram Z. Sarkisian and Aram Karapetian were all of the same opinion until a) the Russian backed Kocharian in 2003, and b) they thought the West could bring them to power through a colored revolution in Armenia.

How do the elites expect to build national pride if they say such undignified things? It's ridiculous.
