    ELECTIONS IN NAGORNO KARABAKH

    Yesterday the Parliamentary elections took place in the Nagorno Karabakh
    Republic. 7 political powers had put forward their candidacy by the
    proportional electoral system. They were - «Armenian Revolutionary
    Federation - Movement-88» bloc (18+20 candidates), Artsakh Democratic Party
    (25+10 candidates), Artsakh Communist Party (10+5 candidates), «Our Home is
    Armenia» party (4+3 candidates), «Social Justice» party (3+1 candidates),
    «Moral Renaissance» party (3 candidates), and Artsakh Armenakyan party (1
    candidate).

    6 of all the candidates put forward are up to 30 years old, 64 are 30-50
    year old, and 36 are older than 50. 97 of them have higher education, 5 have
    medium specialized education, and 4 have finished secondary school.

    Yesterday at 8:00 a.m. the elections of the 4th National Assembly started,
    and the 22 Electoral Committees took up their responsibilities. At 8:30
    there were already queues in the electoral areas, which testified to the
    high activeness of the electors.

    Let us also mention that many observers followed the course of election -
    from USA, Russia, Iran, etc. But of course, the overwhelming majority of the
    observers were from Armenia.

    The course of the elections was relatively quiet. There were no written
    complaints from the candidates or from the electors.

    At 8:00 p.m. Sergey Nasibyan, head of the Nagorno Karabakh Republic Central
    Electoral Committee, announced the end of the elections and the final
    results of the activeness of electors. According to him, 73.6% of all those
    having suffrage, that is - 66 197 electors participated in the Parliamentary
    elections. In Yerevan 149 citizens of the NKR voted, securing 93.7%
    participation. And in Karabakh the highest index of participation was
    recorded in the Azokh N12 electoral area - 90.5%. In contrast to that, the
    lowest was in the Stepanakert N6 electoral area - 55.5%.
