Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev stated on 3 March that the situation
in Armenian is very tense. "This is the result of unwise belligerent
policy and activities of politicians who have isolated themselves,"
the Azerbaijani President stated during his visit to Ganja as part
of his tour of the western region of Azerbaijan.
According to Aliyev, stability in the country is linked to
development. "Where there is satiability there is development and
vise versa," the president said.
The presidential elections in Armenia were held on 19 February and
Serj Sarkisyan, a candidate from the government won the elections
by polling 50% of the votes. Some nine candidates were nominated for
the presidential elections. Levon Ter-Petrosyan, the former President
of Armenia was second in the elections with 21.5% of the votes. The
Armenian opposition, dissatisfied with the outcome of the elections, is
already holding mass protest actions for the fourth consecutive day and
is on sit-down strike. They are demanding a live broadcast, punishment
to those who falsified the outcome and a re-run of the elections.
