NKR most democratic state in South Caucasus

PanARMENIAN.Net - The citizens of Arstakh Republic will show high turnout at the parliamentary elections due on May 23, according to Aharon Adibekyan, head of Sociometr sociological center.

“The survey conducted by the center showed that the turnout will be around 60%,” he told reporters in Yerevan on May 3. “We also found out that the population is pleased with the current authorities’ policy. 56% of the respondents said they would back incumbent President Bako Sahakayn should elections be held this year. They explain their choice by reduction of corruption and the reforms carried out in the republic.”

As to the rating of political parties running for the parliament, Free Fatherland, Democratic Party of NKR and ARF Dashnaktsutyun stand a good chance to win.

“The elections will be monitored by 30 international organizations. Azerbaijan doesn’t recognize the fact of elections in NKR, as it’s the evidence of the republic’s sovereignty,” Mr. Adibekyan said.
