Out of 14 candidates running for president in the Republic of Artsakh, two are females. They have shared about their expectation ahead of the nation-wide elections slated for April with Azdarar Tv programme.

“I am ready to assume the role of the head of the state. I am confident I will be able to work harder than any other previous leader. Furthermore, the Republic of Artsakh led by me will be the best place to live,” one of the candidates, Bella Lalayan, said.

Economist Kristine Balayan is the other female candidate nominated for the presidency.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
