KARABAKH PEOPLE ADMIT THEY NEED NEW POLITICAL FORCES - ARMENIAN POLITICIAN
12:08 * 31.10.14
Arkady Ghukasyan, a former presidential candidate who was recently in
Nagorno-Karabakh (Artsakh) to participate in the newly-established
Peace and Development party's founding session, says he was under
the impression that people in the country really feel the need of
new political forces.
"I can say for sure both the initiative and the political party have
absolutely nothing to do with either [President] Bako Sahakyan or
[ex-President] Arkady Ghukasyan. They are not political or economic
sponsors," he said in an interview with Tert.am, denying earlier
press reports describing the move as Sahakyan's attempt to challenge
his predessecor's possible return.
Ghukasyan said he has the general perception that people in Karabakh
are positively disposed to the initiative. "To the best of my
knowledge, the society has positively reacted to the new party's
emergence. People in Artsakh repeatedly voice the need of a new
political party, so the initiative meets the society's expectations,"
the politician noted.
