POLITICAL MOVEMENTS ACTIVATE ON THRESHOLD OF PARLIAMENTARY ELECTIONS IN NKR

PanARMENIAN.Net - Several political parties are being formed on the threshold of the parliamentary elections to be held in Nagorno Karabakh in June. The constituent assembly of "Our Home Armenia" party is to take place one of these days. Chairman of the initiative group of the party, Karabakh parliament deputy Ararat Petrosian said that the idea of reunion of Nagorno Karabakh and Armenia will become the platform for the party. Already existing parties also demonstrate activity. For instance, the Artsakh branch of ARF Dashnaktsutyun strictly criticized the recent reappointments in the Karabakh government. Many politicians hold the opinion that Dashnaktsutyun will hence be in opposition to the incumbent leadership of NKR. To remind, in October 2004, the nominee supported by Dashnaks won a victory over the pro-governmental candidate during the elections of the Mayor of Stepanakert. At the same time, Dashnaktsutyun members are occupying several posts in the NKR government, specifically in the Security Council.
