"The first thing I will do if elected is to set up a commission to
elaborate a 5-year activity programme," Bako Sahakyan, the former
head of National Security Service, candidate for president, told
ArmInfo correspondent to Stepanakert, Thursday.
He said the current election once more demonstrates the aspiration
of NKR people for democracy and development. Every election is
important for NKR to achieve international recognition. Asked about
the possibility of returning the territories under control of NKR,
Bako Sahakyan said the issue is subject to nation-wide referendum. He
is sure the pre-election campaign was at the highest level. As regards
the violation facts presented by his rival Masis Mailyan, NKR foreign
minister, Bako Sahakyan said the country has faced Black PR for the
first time. He also added that he will carefully choose the candidate
for the post of prime minister if elected. Bako Sahakyan pointed out
that people from his camp must be in the government, but his former
rival may occur there as well.
