The paper says it has learned from sources that senior figures of the
ruling Republican Party of Armenia (RPA) and members of the Armenian
Revolutionary Federation-Dashnaksutyun (ARF-D) held a gathering
in Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh) on Wednesday, just a day before the
scheduled presidential polls.
The meeting reportedly saw the presence of incumbent and former
officials, including a former president of Karabakh, Arkady Ghukasyan,
as well as ex-ministers and regional governors, who are firmly linked
with what is claimed to be the Artsakh clan, especially Armenia's
second president, Robert Kocharyan (who descends from Karabakh).
After meeting the presidential candidates, Vitaly Balasanyan and
[incumbent President] Bako Sahakyan, they gave a big party outside
the Gandzasar Monastery and had an extensive discussion over the 2013
presidential election in Armenia, claims the paper.
"The table companions admitted openly in this context that the
presidential polls will cost the ruling majority, the RPA, a high
price, and agreed with that purpose that Karabakh clan has to entirely
commit itself to listing votes in Armenia after bringing the Artsakh
polls to an end," says the paper.
