Bako Sahakyan, the Head of the NKR National Security Service, is
the most possible candidate to win during the upcoming presidential
elections in NKR and his candidature is protected by all parliamentary
powers.

The fight is between Sahakyan and Masis Mayilyan, the NKR Minister of
Foreign Affairs. However, they say that unequal conditions are set up
for both candidates. The NKR Presidential Advisor on Political Affairs
Arman Melikyan mentioned that the candidature of Bako Sahakyan was
really protected by the parliamentary powers and said that he did not
see anything negative in it, even more; ignoring external challenges
was simply night-blindness. Arman Melikyan stated that it was a vital
period for Karabakh and an important developing period for transiting
the government to another power.

As to the debate level of the candidates, Mr Melikyan stated that it
reflected the maturity of the society.

"The existing debate is a bright example of democracy", said Armen
Melikyan.
