Commenting on newly elected president Alexander Ankvab’s pro-Armenian speeches during the election campaign regarding activating railway communication with other countries in the region and promoting relationships with Armenia, Minasyan said: “Ankvab’s pro-Armenian election speeches are tools to gain the Armenian community. It is natural that the candidate should have sounded nice to Armenians but no significant changes should be expected.” Minasyan also noted that after the 2008 Georgian-Ossetian war the situation in Abkhazia and South Ossetia will remain stable for a long time. Earlier, Alexander Ankvab expressed willingness to open railway transit with Armenia. Ankvab got 54,86% of votes at the August 26 presidential elections that account for the passing away of President Sergey Bagapsh on May 29.
