PanARMENIAN.Net - Azeri foreign ministry announced intention to
"blacklist" all international observers at Nagorno Karabakh
presidential elections.
Over 100 observers, including 80 international monitors, have been
registered for July 19 presidential polls. Which means, at one fling,
Azeri ministry will blacklist over 80 person from 18 countries
worldwide, with Baku soon to declare the majority of the earth's
population persona non grata for visiting Artsakh.
Azeri ministry rose to expectations, believing itself entitled to
criticize electoral procedures in a neighboring state. The upcoming
polls were branded as a "provocation attempt," "contrary to efforts
of Azerbaijan and international organizations for peaceful resolution
of the conflict."
Continuing to shirk the responsibility for ongoing tensions, Baku
seems to be completely forgetting its incessant attempts to undermine
peace talks.
3 candidates to run for NKR presidency are: current leader Bako
Sahakyan; NKR MP, ex-deputy defense minister Vitaly Balasanyan;
Armenian State Agrarian University's Stepanakert Subsidiary pro-rector
Arkady Soghomonyan.
274 electoral districts are open in NKR and 1 in Yerevan-located NKR
permanent representation.
