    FROM BADEN-BADEN TO STEPANAKERT

    Rumors came that after spending the holiday in the German city
    of Baden-Baden with Serge Sargsyan hard days are awaiting the NKR
    president elect Bako Sahakyan connected with the new government. The
    point is that in the pre-election period Bako Sahakyan "hinted"
    at several people for the appointment of prime minister. Currently,
    the co-leader of the Azat Hayrenik Party, Member of Parliament Arayik
    Harutiunyan, the Moscow-based businessman Levon Hairapetyan and the
    former NKR vice prime minister Yuri Ghazaryan are mentioned. Meanwhile,
    Prime Minister Anushavan Danielyan is not likely to give up easily. The
    prime minister is said to demand a high-ranking position in Armenia
    in return for the post of prime minister.

    In Stepanakert they say Anushavan Danielyan may be appointed minister
    of transport of Armenia. For some "well-known reasons" Anushavan
    Danielyan cannot return to Crimea. For their part, the official
    circles of Stepanakert and Yerevan are not "fond" of him but they
    cannot ignore his demand. He was prime minister of Karabakh for many
    years and is well-aware of the activities of the Karabakh officials.

    The problem of appointment of a prime minister is not the only
    complication.

    Bako Sahakyan made similar pledges regarding the appointment of some
    other core posts. After the voting he had stated that political culture
    supposes appointing the representatives of forces which endorsed
    him. Meanwhile, the representatives are many whereas the posts are few.

    For its part, the new staff of the NKR government needs the approval
    of official Yerevan because the bulk of the NKR budget comprises the
    interstate loan of Armenia. Arkady Ghukasyan and Anushavan Danielyan
    had tried at one time to conduct an independent economic policy
    especially in tax administration, but Armenia made them review this
    policy through economic methods. Hence, considering the "peculiarity"
    of the election of Bako Sahakyan, the new government of NKR will not
    be independent.

    The acting president Arkady Ghukasyan should not be forgotten
    either. He and Bako Sahakyan were said to have controversies over
    the new government, namely some appointments.
