All the elections in Nagorno-Karabakh were free, but not absolutely
fair, Gegham Baghdasaryan, an ex-member of the Nagorno-Karabakh
parliament and expert, told Tert.am.
"They are free in that no one is forcing the Artsakh people into
anything. Bludgeon is not a political instrument, not shots or arrests
or even local underworld leaders. On the other hand, the elections are
not completely fair because the entire administrative system is working
in favor of the government-backed candidate," Baghdasaryan said.
Four candidates are running for presidency in Nagorno-Karabakh:
incumbent President Bako Sahakyan, the NKR parliament member Vitaly
Balasanyan, Vice-Chancellor of Stepanakert branch of State Agrarian
University of Armenia Arkady Soghonomyan and 65-old Valeri Khachatryan,
who is unemployed now.
