200 COMMUNITIES ELECTED THEIR LEADERS, NO STEPANAKERT MAYOR YET
STEPANAKERT, AUGUST 9, ARMENPRESS: Despite of complaints by
international structures and Azerbaijan, 200 communities elected
their community heads in August 8 municipality elections in Nagorno
Karabakh. Stepanakert, however, presented a surprise with a need for
a second turn. Two candidates with the most votes, Pavel Najarian and
Eduard Aghabekian, will participate in the second turn. The first
candidate is supported by pro-government Democratic Artsakh Union and
the second is supported by opposition. Observers say the second
candidate has more chances of winning, though he was by 8 percent
behind his competitor in the first turn. The chairman of Central
Electoral Committee Sergei Davidian says that elections were more
organized as compared to the previous one.
