ArmInfo. The results of the first and second rounds of elections in Artsakh laid the foundation for plans to export the counter-revolution from Artsakh to Armenia.   Director of "Ashkharh" ("World") Center of Strategic Research  (Stepanakert) Hrachya Arzumanyan, expressed a similar opinion to  ArmInfo.

According to the results of the second round of presidential  elections in Artsakh on April 14, according to preliminary  information from the CEC, Arayik Harutyunyan, the leader of the Free  Homeland party, won with 39,860 or 88% of the votes. 5428 or 12% of  voters voted for Foreign Minister Masis Mayilyan, who was calling on  the Artsakh people to boycott the elections. 1876 ballots were  recognized invalid. In the second round, 47,165 or 44.9% of the total  number of voters took part. According to the results of the first  round, Harutyunyan won - 49.6%, MasisMayilyan - 26.7% of the vote.  

"The Artsakh authorities surpassed their own "achievements" in the  first round, having drawn in the second round, not 49.6%, but 88% of  the support of the Artsakh voters. In this issue, this revamped power  followed the example of one of its" ideologists "Serzh Sargsyan,"  we'll get as many percent as we wish. "I think that such behavior is  consistent with the realities of Asian autocracies and dictatorships,  but not with Artsakh as part of a free, democratic Armenia," he said.   The analyst considers such a manifestation of cynicism, lack of a  sense of proportion and decency among the Artsakh authorities as a  kind of message not only to the Artsakh people, but also to the  entire Armenian people. In this light, according to his estimates,  the second round of elections has already more clearly outlined the  handwriting of a criminal phenomenon - an oligarchy fused with crime.  The phenomena that were not finally destroyed in Armenia in the  spring of 2018, and gradually raising its head again in Artsakh.  "It  is clear that for now all these people, a group of people will behave  within certain frameworks. For the time being, more precisely, until  Harutyunyan's inauguration and the formation of the parliament. These  two events will finally complete the formation of a bridgehead in the  political space of Armenian statehood with the subsequent goal of  returning Armenia into the post-Soviet track of stagnation. The track  from which Armenia has practically escaped and its part - Artsakh  "has already begun to break out," Arzumanyan summed up. 

The March 31 parliamentary elections ended with the victory of five  political forces in the Artsakh National Assembly.  These are the  parties "Free Homeland", "United Civil Alliance" - 40.4%, "United  Homeland" - 23.63%, "Justice" - 7.9%, ARF "Dashnaktsutyun" - 6.4% and  "Democratic Party Artsakh "- 5.81%.
