President of the Union of Russian Armenians Ara Abrahamyan expressed
hope that it will be possible to "convince" the President of the
Nagorno Karabakh Republic Arkady Ghukasyan to run for the third
term. Ara Abrahamyan said this in an interview with "Novoye Russkoye
Slovo" newspaper, Mediamax agency reports.
"First of all, the law does not prohibit Arkady Ghukasyan to run for
the third term. He can do that even three or four times. And let this
fact not trouble anyone. In many countries there are no restrictions
on the terms of holding state positions. Second, I do believe that
in the current situation there is no one to take the place of Akady
Ghukasyan. He knows all the details of the Karabakh conflict best of
all, since for a long time he held Foreign Minister's position. I think
his candidacy will be out of dispute, at least until the international
legal status of the Nagorno Karabakh Republic is finally determined.
"President Ghukasyan has declared he will not run for the third
term. But I hope that the NKR society, politicians and Diaspora
leaders will manage to convince him that it is necessary. I see it as
the guarantee of maintenance of security and the process democratic
development in the republic," declared the President of the Union of
Russian Armenians.
