forward to participate in the Presidential elections to be held in
the Republic July 19.

According to Bako Sahakian, it again testifies that the
Nagorno-Karabagh has all the preconditions to ensure free, just
and transparent elections and pluralism of opinions. Bako Sahakian

attitude to the Presidential elections.

by the NKR political parties as a result of reaching an agreement on
the basic principles of domestic and foreign policy for the coming
years and consultations held with him.

"Our today’s unity is a guarantee of holding free and just elections"
Bako Sahakian said.
