YEREVAN, JUNE 12, NOYAN TAPAN. For the first time a candidate having a
position of principle has been nominated for the presidential elections
in NKR. This candidate is not guided from the power machine. Political
scientist Igor Muradian made such a statement at the June 12 press
conference meaning NKR Deputy Foreign Minister Masis Mayilian. In
his words, that circumstance makes very nervous current NKR President
Arkady Ghoukassian, as the presidential elections to be held in NKR
are very important for his future. "He should leave being sure that a
controllable personality remains in Stepanakert," I. Muradian said. In
his words, "currently NKR carries out information and administrative
terrorism," the whole machinery of State led by the President works
against M. Mayilian.

According to I. Muradian’s observations, for the latter it is
beneficial that Bako Sahakian, Head of NKR National Security
Service, win the elections, as he is "controllable." For that
purpose, in political scientist’s words, they make an attempt to
inspire people that allegedly the Armenian authorities approve that
candidate. However, as I. Muradian affirmed, this does not correspond
to reality, as indeed in Armenia they are indifferent to A. Ghoukassian
and do not support him.
