Panorama.am. Mr. Nikonov you’ve done various political analysis on Armenian inner political developments. What do you think is there are only two major poles between Serzj Sargsyan and Levon Ter-Petrosyan and that the main struggle is between them?

Nikonov. The survey results which I’ve seen show that Levon Ter-Petrosyan is not even the second one, but the third probably. That why I can not say that he is a major candidate. I think that the elections should have only one part and Serzh Sargsyan will win.

Panorama.am. How do you evaluate Armenian-Russian relationship?

Nikonov. I evaluate the development of our relations positively in any sphere. There is an integral mark on increase of economic connections and it presents the entire image. For the last years this mark is 68% which is the highest mark in 2007 (I am talking about trade relations). So there is a positive dynamic.
