ArmInfo. The president in the USA does not make strategically important decisions unlike president of Armenia, consequently Donald Trump's foreign policy will not significantly differ from the former presidents' policies, Deputy Chairman of Heritage Party Armen Martirosyan told ArmInfo's correspondent.
He stressed that he does not expect any changes in Armenian-US relations, US stand on genocide and Karabakh settlement issues. According to him the president in the USA does not make any decisions, he just can accelerate or slacken the processes, consequently it is senseless to await any radical changes from Trump. ''Trump is not like Serzh Sargsyan, he can not make non beneficial strategic decision and change foreign political vector from European to Eurasian integration after three hour negotiations with the Russian president'', the politician mentioned ironically.
To note, US Ambassador to Armenia Richard Mills touching upon possible changes in Armenian- US relations after the presidential elections stated that no matter which party wins presidential elections in the USA, the country's foreign policy will remain 80% the same. The USA will continue to fulfill its obligations to its friends and Armenia is surely among them. Providing assistance to Armenia aimed at its development into an independent, prosperous country living in peace with its neighbors will remain among the USA's priority issues. We will remain Armenia's stable and reliable partner and will continue joint work aimed at building prosperous Armenia, Mills said.
The final results of the presidential elections in the USA have not been announced yet, however Republican Donald Trump's victory is almost evident, considering that he has already won 276 electoral votes, while Hillary Clinton got only 218. Almost 56.9 mln people have voted for Trump and 55.8 mln for Clinton. The candidate from Democrats has already congratulated Trump by phone.
