NEW ELECTIONS IN MATAGHIS
Azat Artsakh - Nagorno Karabakh Republic (NKR)
17 Sept 04
On September 11 in the village Mataghis, region of Martakert, new
elections were held to the head of the community. Artur Mejlumian
was elected head of the community. On August 22 the second round
of elections with the participation of Shahen Mayilian and Artur
Mejlumian had been held, and Shahen Mayilian had won. However, Artur
Mejlumian applied to court which declared the results of the election
invalid, and appointed new balloting on September 11. This time Artur
Mejlumian won, being ahead by six votes. On September 14 the Central
Election Committee confirmed the decision on this. Frankly speaking
we would not find out from the decision of the court why the results
of the election were declared invalid. In fact, the court made this
decision without any basis. Nevertheless, the decision was made and
it is now clear that during the last election, both the candidates
and their trustees and the voters were very serious. Otherwise the
former heads of 50 communities would not get up of their chairsā^Ą¦
