The ARF Dashnaktsutyun Karabakh held a regional meeting today to
decide the party’s actions in the upcoming presidential election. It
is known already that the National Assembly will hold a meeting on
one of these days to appoint the day of the election. In accordance
with the law, nomination will start on April 20 and last until May 10.
Nobody has made a statement on participating in the
election. Apparently, everyone is waiting to see what the opposition
will be doing. By the way, the ARF Dashnaktsutyun in Karabakh had
declared to be constructive opposition.
We have learned that the ARF Dashnaktsutyun will name a candidate or
support another candidate. Most probably, the ARF Dashnaktsutyun will
support the candidate of the non-pro-government parties.
Dashnaktsutyun and the Movement 88 Party have 3 seats in the
parliament.
However, this correlation does not reflect the real influence of
the opposition on the political sphere of Karabakh. In reality, it
is much bigger. In the parliamentary election 2005 these parties got
25 percent of votes.
