Arminfo, Armenia

ArmInfo.There are political forces in Artsakh that speculate even on an issue of the coronavirus pandemic. Presidential candidate from the " Artsakh Conservative  Party ", spokesperson of the NKR President David Babayan stated this  in an interview with ArmInfo correspondent.

He noted that the politicization of this issue is unacceptable, since  all this can lead to very serious consequences. <Now we are in the  race, and it is impossible to politicize such important issues. For  us, the health of our citizens comes first and we will not oppose it  if a decision is made to postpone the election.  However, such a  decision should be purely professional and should be made by the  Ministry of Health care of Artsakh>, Babayan emphasized.

The NKR President spokesman said that speculation would otherwise be  possible. '' If the authorities of the country decide to postpone the  elections, then some political forces may declare that this decision  was connected with the desire of the country's leadership to stay in  power longer. Fortunately, such forces in the country are not  numerous, but they exist>, Babayan said 

It should be noted that parliamentary and presidential elections will  be held on March 31 in Artsakh. No cases of coronavirus infection  have been detected in the NKR.
