In the framework of the onset of the election campaign in Nagorno
Karabakh an initiative group was set up in NKR to nominate Bako
Sahakyan, the head of the NKR National Security Service. And the first
problems with the law occurred right away. It turned out that this
candidate, who was the focus of the consultations of the political
forces which were up for naming him as a common candidate, has not
lived in NKR over the past ten years. Bako Sahakyan has lived in
Stepanakert since 2000 when he was appointed NKR minister of home
affairs.

Time will show how this fact will affect the nomination of Bako
Sahakyan.

Certain difficulty will occur related to the higher education diploma
as well, which is already a habit among the Armenian politicians
because Sahakyan will also face a problem of the legality of this
document. In the post-war period a number of figures standing close
to the top leadership "forged" diplomas on higher education.

It appears that problems occur in the political life of Nagorno
Karabakh like in Armenia. On the one hand, it is stated that nobody
should interfere with the internal problems; on the other hand,
Karabakh is announced to be part of Armenia. It is interesting how
the supporters of Bako Sahakyan will behave this time, who are already
baffled by the slogan "people of Karabakh elect president of Karabakh"
and the banner called "Kocharyan’s OK".
