I've noticed a curious coincidence with the speeches of Putvedev and Serj Sargsyan. There seems to be a 2-3 week lag between what Putin or Medvedev say and what Serj Sargsyan says. For example, a few days ago SS made a speech at his party's gathering which was the same as Medvedev has said 3 weeks earlier.
November 23, 2010: "We have seen a threat of stability becoming a factor of stagnation. Such a stagnation is equally damaging for the ruling party and opposition forces" - Dmitry Medvedev, Russian president
December 19, 2010: "Very stable conditions can lead to a solid state, weakening of dynamics, standing water typically becomes a swamp" - Serzh Sargsyan

I'll betcha though that Putvedev didn't articulate this gem of wisdom: "We will not invent the bicycle." That's an original SS thought, yes?
