IN NKR

/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Several political parties are being formed on the
threshold of the parliamentary elections to be held in Nagorno
Karabakh in June. The constituent assembly of “Our Home Armenia”
party is to take place one of these days. Chairman of the initiative
group of the party, Karabakh parliament deputy Ararat Petrosian said
that the idea of reunion of Nagorno Karabakh and Armenia will become
the platform for the party. Already existing parties also demonstrate
activity. For instance, the Artsakh branch of ARF Dashnaktsutyun
strictly criticized the recent reappointments in the Karabakh
government. Many politicians hold the opinion that Dashnaktsutyun
will hence be in opposition to the incumbent leadership of NKR. To
remind, in October 2004, the nominee supported by Dashnaks won a
victory over the pro-governmental candidate during the elections of
the Mayor of Stepanakert. At the same time, Dashnaktsutyun members
are occupying several posts in the NKR government, specifically in
the Security Council.
