Vitaly Balasanyan, who represented Nagorno-Karabakh's opposition in
the recent presidential polls, has managed to garner quite a serious
number of votes, an Armenian political analyst has said.
"The opposition managed to unite to the maximum possible degree. The
votes of the opposition candidate, Vitaly Balasanyan, are quite
serious. That twice exceeds the number of ballots cast in favor the
opposition candidate in the previous polls. None of the five political
parties backed the opposition figure, although several parliament
members did so," Alexander Iskandaryan, the director of the Caucasus
Institute, told a news conference on Friday.
The July 19 presidential election in Nagorno-Karabakh saw the country's
incumbent leader leader, Bako Sahakyan, top his challengers with
66.7% of votes. The other contenders, Vitaly Balasanyan and Arkady
Soghomonyan, have received 31.4% and 0.9% of votes, respectively.
