The Democratic Party of Artsakh has not considered nominating
candidates for the local elections on October 14, Vahram
Atanesyan, member of the Democratic Party, said in an interview
with Karabakh-open.com. "We think the local elections should not be
politicized," Vahram Atanesyan said.
"The election for the mayor of Stepanakert in 2004 and the events that
followed it show that a politicized head of the municipality cannot be
effective," said Vahram Atanesyan although he did not rule out that
their decision may change before the deadline of nomination. "If we
nevertheless decide to run a political race, we will have sufficient
potential," he said.
Vahram Atanesyan thinks the presidential election has just ended, and
"it is not expedient to give more party pledges to people." "Better
people be nominated on civil initiative, and the community elect
definite persons," the member of parliament said. The Azat Hayrenik
Party has not taken a stance regarding nomination of candidates.
Arayik Harutiunyan, leader of the party, said it will become known
in the upcoming days.
