The nomination of presidential candidates continues. The NKR Central
Electoral Commission has already registered the initiative groups
of the three candidates: Bako Sahakyan, head of the NKR National
Security Service, Vania Avanesyan, professor at Artsakh State, Hrant
Melkumyan, first secretary of the Communist Party. We have learned
that the deputy minister of foreign affairs of NKR Masis Mayilyan
will be nominated by May 5.

The period of nomination is calm. All the four parliament parties
reached agreement on supporting a single candidate. Although there
is no agreement on whom they will support. Only the Azat Hayrenik
Party endorsed Bako Sahakyan.

The other parties, including the opposition parties ARF Dashnaktsutyun
and Movement 88 have not endorsed anyone. In backstage talks it is
said that after the nomination the agreement on single candidate may
undergo changes.
