A defeated candidate in the Nagorno-Karabakh (Artsakh) presidential
polls, Vitaly Balasanyan, has expressed his disappointment with
sociologist Aharon Adibekyan's wording about the country.
In a Facebook post, Balasanyan says he is shocked by the pollster's
statement characterizing Karabakh as a small community which may be
split up by the opposition.
Considering Adibekyan's approach to the country's opposition
ridiculous, the ex-presidential runner, who was formerly a deputy
defense minister of Karabakh, says the statement more reminds him of
the one-time unreasonable arguments voiced by Soviet authoritarian
lawyers. Such stance, according to him, could pose a threat to
Artsakh's future.
"The Artsakh people have always been unanimous over the Artsakh issue,
and should, heaven forbid, a war begin, the same people will again
unitedly protect their country, Artsakh, from those wishing to see it
as a community. It is unacceptable that people, whose fate has been
on table for several years on end, are unaware of the process. So
the opposition is necessary in order to counteract this or be an
alternative to the authorities. The people of Artsakh must from now
on be rebellious for the sake of protecting their rights and building
an effective state," reads Balasanyan's statement.
