The 84.3 per cent of the population of Nagorno-Karabakh are active
voters, with 36 per cent knowing who they are going to vote for,
sociologist Aharon Adibekyan told the reporters today.
He presented his forecasts on how many votes the candidates running
for presidency in Karabakh will get.
`Incumbent President Bako Sahakyan will get 30%, with Vitaly
Balasanyan 3.5 per cent, followed by Soghomonyan 1.5 per cent. The
27.5 per cent out of 84.3% of voters has not decided yet who to vote
for, other 28.5 per cent did not reveal it. It is obvious that part of
them will not go to polls,' he said.
The social opinion poll has been conducted with the order of Free
Homeland party, during May 26-27, among 946 eligible voters.
According to the sociologist, only 5 per cent will not go to polls
while the others are still undecided.
Aharon Adibekyan ruled out the possibility of distribution of election bribes.
`If Bako Sahakyan has the majority of votes why should he distribute
election bribes. Vitaly Balasanyan has not collected and kept money
for distributing them today,' he said, adding that during the social
opinion poll, only three Karabakh communities were aware of nomination
of Vitaly Balasanyan while no one knew about it in Stepanakert. `He
should declare about his nomination,' the sociologist said.
He stressed that if Bako Sahakyan is elected everyone will believe
that he reached the victory without bribing or using administrative
resources.
`Karabakhi people will never take bribe. First, the candidates do not
have money to distribute, and even if they do have they will not give
them,' the sociologist said.
