Gregory Afanasyan professor at Artsakh State, activist of the
Karabakh movement, said in an interview with the Demo Newspaper that
the problem of Karabakh is resolved in NKR. "The resolution of the
Karabakh problem depends on how we will hold the upcoming election. We
need to rid of the slavish way of thinking. Remembering the year 1988
and the war, we should acknowledge that we won only because we had
a free mind. As to the upcoming election, it is not desirable that
one of the candidates used the administrative resource because it
will discredit the election. To avoid this, the CEC and everyone who
will participate in the election must be honest and just. We need no
cheating," Gregory Afanasyan said. "I would like to note the statement
by some parties and organizations before the election campaign to
support a definite candidate. I am sorry, gentlemen, but this is an
election. If you announce beforehand to vote for someone, why do we
need to hold an election? You can decide and name, but not impose on
people. You cannot divide people. We must be united but everyone has
the right to have an opinion. Most importantly, the process should be
in accordance with the Constitution. The basic law must be honored,"
Gregory Afanasyan said.
