Recently member of the "Free Motherland" /"Azat Hayrenik"/ party
Artur Tovmasyan answered this question during the press conference
convened after the party congress.
"Bako Sahakyan belongs to the group of people who highly appreciate
each word they utter and know what to speak. If you have noticed he
always speaks of the supremacy of law in his interviews. And being
a citizen of this country I attach importance to the fact that the
supremacy of law is important for the incumbent president; this is
good for our people. Bako Sahakyan is an influential figure in the
NKR political life but he was nominated for the NKR president's post
as an independent candidate by the civil initiative. This is one
of the rightest decisions for now. Such a decision of the eminent
statesman is a new classical policy. And what is more important the
"Free Motherland" considers Bako Sahakyan is endowed with personal
charisma and indisputably determined resoluteness of making firm and
just decisions.
To the question of one of the journalists whether the party has already
spoken to its electorate and whether they share the party's opinion of
supporting the current president's candidacy Artur Tovmasyan answered,
"None of the party members denies the difficulties and problems
existent in our country but everybody is sure these problems will
soon be solved. We have unanimously decided to support Bako Sahakyan,
there is no other opinion in our party."
And Artur Tovmasyan's answer to the question why such a big party does
not have its own candidate for the Presidency can hardly be considered
a proper reply except for his statement, "We have announced that Bako
Sahatyan is our candidate". "But he does not announce himself to be
the candidate of your party", the journalist continued and the answer
was "But the "Free Motherland" considers him its own candidate."
Artur Tovmasyan gave a noteworthy answer to the question concerning
the fact that during the years of Bako Sahakyan's leadership of the
country Karabakh moved from partly free countries to not-free ones.
"Of course, it is quite bad that no opposition is presented in the
Parliament, I state this as the Vice Speaker of the National Assembly.
All the three political forces supported Bako Sahakyan in 2007, there
was no opposition. During the parliamentary elections in 2010 the
Communist Party lacked 1000 votes to have its representatives in the
Parliament. Do you think we should have given them these 1000 votes
so that they could represent the opposition in the NKR Parliament? Do
you think we should have falsified the elections in order to move to
free countries," the Free Motherland party member noted and added that
no American or European structures have the right to record whether
the country is free or not after this or that election. "Let them
infer from the records by the international observers of 2007 and
2010 elections."
