ArmInfo. A rally was held in Artsakh yesterday after the election for the first time in 30 years. Former adviser to the Prime Minister of Armenia, independent expert Arsen  Kharatyan stated this during a video discussion on the topic of the  elections held in Artsakh.

He noted the fact that the presidential and parliamentary elections  were simultaneously held in Artsakh and is an unprecedented situation  for the NKR. Kharatyan stated that the activity in the elections was  very high, 73% of voters have participated. , the expert emphasized.

He also emphasized that the group of people that closed one of the  streets in Stepanakert said they would not accept the results of  these elections.

The expert noted that it is not yet clear what the ballots will be.  < That is, it is unclear whether they will contain only the name of  Arayik Harutyunyan, since Masis Mayilyan will actually boycott the  elections or the names of both candidates. I believe that today there  is a political crisis in Artsakh>,  Kharatyan said.  It should be  noted that on March 31 the presidential and parliamentary elections  were held in Artsakh. But since none of the presidential candidates  won more than 50% of the vote, the second round of the presidential  election will be held on April 14.
