    Nagorno Karabakh is Holding Parliamentary Elections Tomorrow

    15:08 - 22.05.10


    On May 23 the Republic of Nagorno Karabakh will hold its 5th
    parliamentary elections since independence.

    According to the official website of the Central Election Commission
    of NKR the parliamentary elections will be held both in proportional
    representation and majoritarian electoral system.

    Four parties will participate by proportional representation: Free
    Homeland, Democratic Party of Artsakh, Communist Party of Artsakh and
    the Armenian Revolutionary Federation (Dashnaktsutyun, ARF-D).

    The first three heading the party list of Free Homeland Party are the
    Prime Minister of NKR Araik Harutyunyan, Deputy Chairman of the
    National Assembly of NKR Rudik Hyusnunts and the Director of School #1
    in Stepanakert Ramela Dadayan.

    The top three in Democratic Party of Artsakh party list are Chairman
    of the National Assembly of Artsakh Ashot Ghulyan, Head of NA Standing
    Commission on Defense and Security Janna Galstyan and Head of Staff of
    the NKR Government Suren Grigoryan.

    Sixteen candidates will participate in these elections by majoritarian
    electoral system.

    Prior of the voting day in Karabakh's parliamentary elections
    Catherine Ashton, High Representative of the European Union for
    Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, said in a statement that the EU
    `does not recognize the constitutional and legal framework within
    which the parliamentary elections in Nagorno Karabakh will be held.'

    "I would like to recall that the European Union does not recognize the
    constitutional and legal framework within which the "parliamentary
    elections" in Nagorno Karabakh will be held this Sunday. This event
    should not prejudice the peaceful settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh
    conflict. I reiterate our firm support to the OSCE Minsk-Group, and
    the work of the three Co- chairs and their efforts towards a
    settlement of the conflict, and call on the parties to redouble their
    efforts to find a negotiated solution to the conflict. I recall the
    EU's readiness to offer further support to this end," said Ashton.
