A day of silence has been announced ahead of the parliamentary
elections in Nagorno Karabakh scheduled for May 23. The parties have
stopped the election campaign to give an opportunity to the voters to
make a decision.
Seventeen deputies will be elected through the majoritarian system,
another sixteen will be elected through the proportional system.
Four parties are running for Parliament – the Democratic Party of
Artsakh headed by National assembly speaker Ashot Ghulyan, the Free
Motherland led by Prime Minister Ara Harutyunyan, the Armenian
Revolutionary Federation and the Communists.
