The pre-election situation in Armenia is close to ideal: a pre-election
process is underway in the country. All the candidates have the
opportunity to present their platforms, and the people have an
alternative of choice.
NKR President Arkadi Ghukasyan said during a meeting in the
Armenian-Russian (Slavonic) University that Nagorno Karabakh "has a
tradition of holding good elections." "Although the international
community does not recognize the result s of these elections, but
gives the highest evaluation.
It may sound haughty, but the best elections on the post-Soviet
space take place in Karabakh. The democratic processes are the most
important for us, since we realize very well that what is forgiven
to the recognized states is not forgiven to the unrecognized ones,"
the President noted.
Arkadi Ghukasyan is confident that these elections will also be free,
fair and transparent, and as a result the strongest will win. As the
President of the country, Arkadi Ghukasyan is doing his best to assure
equal competition opportunities. As a citizen, he wants to see Bako
Sahakyan as his successor.
Arkadi Ghukasyan intends to stay in Karabakh after the presidential
elections. He has no programs for future, but is confident that he will
stay in politics. "It will be hard to leave politics, to which I have
dedicated 20 years of my life," he noted. In the President’s words,
he leaves happy like every leader who enjoys the trust of the people.
Surveys show that his rating is 70%.
