YEREVAN, JULY 6, NOYAN TAPAN. The two real candidates for the post of
the President of the Republic of Nagorno Karabakh, between whom the
main struggle is developing, enjoy unequal campaign resources. This
point of view was expressed by Sergey Minasian, an expert of the
Caucasian Media Institute, during the debate with Stephan Safarian,
the Head of the National Strategic Investigation Center and the
Secretary of the Zharangutiun (Heritage) faction of the RA National
Assembly, held on July 6. According to Sergey Minasian, Bako Sahakian,
the former Head of the National Security of the Republic of Nagorno
Karabakh, uses the whole administrative resource of the country,
whereas, Masis Mayilian, the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs,
is deprived of such an opportunity.
Stephan Safarian declared in his turn that the fact that opposition
parties support Bako Sahakian, the candidate from the authorities,
speaks not about political solidarity, but about the absence of an
alternative. In addition to this, according to him, the scenario
conducted in the parliamentary elections of Armenia can be made
use of in Artsakh as well. By this scenario the Bargavach Hayastan
(Prosperous Armenia) party, which was created by the authorities,
became the main rival of the Hanrapetakan (Republican) party.
The NA MP mentioned at the same time that he is personally acquainted
with Masis Mayilian and excludes the fact that the latter can be
"a henchman."
Stephan Safarian also added that they should do everything in order
to hold elections in harmony with democratic standards in Artsakh,
since, according to him the world community has already made harsh
statements about this occasion. He also mentioned that the possible
"KGB-ization" of Artsakh is dangerous for Armenia.
