Decision Time: NKR picks a president July 19

By Aris Ghazinyan

A highly intricate situation has formed in Nagorno-Karabakh on the threshold of the presidential election slated in this unrecognized republic for July 19. Despite the fact that the second president of the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic, Arkady Ghukasyan, on July 3 described the election race as “close to ideal”, there are reasons to doubt it. The demarche of the NKR President’s advisor Arman Melikyan during the Yerevan discussions of the upcoming elections on Tuesday testifies to the presence of certain differences and a general heated emotional background. Melikyan then said that “the discussion of the process of the presidential election in the NKR in Armenia is an interference into the internal affairs of the republic” and having said that, he left the roundtable.
