ARF Dashnaktsutyun again stands out in the NKR presidential campaign for
its `traditional’ behavior. ARFD Artsakh organization stated that it would
be neutral and would not support any of the candidates running for NKR
president. But literally two days later ARFD stated to support the
incumbent president Bako Sahakyan.

Later, Hrant Margaryan was learned to have left for Karabakh urgently for a
consultation with the ARFD members after which the second statement was
released. We have learned that a lot of ARFD Artsakh members disagreed with
that decision, others were neutral. Actually, Hrant Margaryan made the
decision alone.

Here is another deal between Hrant Margaryan and the authorities. According
to our credible source, Hrant Margaryan’s step caused a backlash among
Artsakh’s Dashnaktsutyun who `saw him off’ with rude expressions.

As to Artsakh’s Dashnaks, they not only refused Hrant Margaryan’s decision
to support the acting president but decided to support the second candidate
General Vitali Balasanyan.
