The election bloc of the Armenian Revolutionary Federation –
Dashnaktsutyun [ARFD] and Movement-88 is refusing the mandates it
received during the parliamentary elections in the Nagornyy Karabakh
republic, Gegam Bagdasaryan, deputy chairman of Movement-88 and
editor-in-chief of Demo newspaper, has told our Noyan Tapan
correspondent.
Three seats under the proportional system were won by the ARFD
representative and former minister, Armen Sarkisyan, the member of
Movement-88 and mayor of Stepanakert, Eduard Agadzhanyan, and
independent Vitaliy Balasanyan.
Disagreeing with the opinion of international observers about free,
fair and transparent elections, Gegam Bagdasaryan stated that “there
were free and transparent injustices”.
Promising that the parties of the bloc will continue to defend their
rights, Bagdasaryan pointed out that the steps of the further
political struggle are being discussed.
