the parliamentary elections of June 19 in NKR free and transparent.

letter to President of NKR Arkady Ghoukasyan and Prime Minister

place in the elections on the proportional system, the bloc did not

repeat the success in 2004 municipal elections, adding that it was
time to analyze omissions. They pointed out the bloc's adherence to
its principles to support stability in the country.
In response to ARMINFO's question on the position of the Armenian wing
of ARFD party in the elections, Armen Sargsyan said that the Karabakh
office of the party was a decentralized structure, but its position
would not contradict to that of ARFD of Armenia. "We aspired for an
honest struggle, without use of the party's resources," he said. He
said he would make a statement shortly to reflect all the violations
in the course of the elections.
To note, according to preliminary data, ARFD-Movement-88 bloc received
only 3 ticket seats.
