Экс-кандидат в президенты НКР намерен создать общественное движение

Экс-кандидат в президенты Нагорно-Карабахской Республики Виталий Баласанян заявил о своем намерении создать общественное движение, в связи с чем обратился к гражданам НКР.

Как сообщает собкор АрмИнфо в Степанакерте, в обращении Виталия Баласаняна, в частности, отмечается: "По меньшей мере треть избирателей отдала свои голоса в мою пользу, и эти голоса принадлежат не только мне, но и всем нашим соотечественникам, готовым к борьбе, стремящимся к положительным изменениям, желающим эффективной системы управления, желающим видеть развитую страну". Политик напомнил, что во время предвыборной кампании многие граждане подняли вопрос о том, чтобы при любом исходе выборов создать политическую силу и продолжить борьбу.

"Сегодня настал этот момент. Настало время создать институциональную структуру, которая попробует дать решение вопросам политическими способами. Политика - не единократный акт, она требует непрерывную и преданную борьбу за идеи и принципы.  День голосования символизирует собой не конец, а начало новых демократических процессов в Арцахе", - отметил Баласанян. По его словам, в ближайшее время он и его соратники проведут встречи в различных общинах НКР с тем, чтобы представить основные принципы создаваемой структуры, дополняя их новыми предложениями, полученными у широких слоев населения.  "В навязанной нам войне мы обрели часть территорий исторического Арцаха (Нагорного Карабаха - прим. ред.). Сегодняшняя граница Республики Арцах, которая защищается со стороны Армии обороны НКР, является границей, начерченной в результате войны. Арцах является частью родины всего армянства и достижением всего армянства. А значит, священной задачей всего армянства является защита и закрепление его в международных инстанциях", - отметил Виталий Баласанян.

По его словам, одной из основных целей движения является установление социальной справедливости,  обеспечение того, чтобы национальное богатство было доступно всем. "Необходимо переосмыслить наш двадцатилетний путь государственного строительства и дать оценку пройденному пути. Существует необходимость нового возрождения, что позволит заново обрести атмосферу, существовавшую во время арцахского движения, здоровое морально-нравственное состояние общества", - отметил Баласанян. По его словам, уже подготовлен "предварительный вариант базовых принципов, которые после широкого обсуждения, дополнения и редактирования станут основой для объединения широких слоев населения во имя сохранения национально-духовной ценностной системы и ее развития на данной основе"

Напомним, что согласно результатам прошедших 19 июля президентских выборов за кандидата, действующего президента Бако Саакяна, переизбранного на второй  срок, проголосовало  47 тыс. 095 избирателей, Виталия Баласаняна - 22 тыс. 967,  за Аркадия Согомоняна

- 593. Общее число избирателей составило 99 тыс. 227 человек. Число зарегистрированных и получивших избирательные бюллетени граждан составило 72 тыс. 958, число недействительных бюллетеней - 2 302.

Russia adds pressure on Armenia ahead of key elections; recalls Ambassador in Yerevan for consultations

On 30 May, Russia recalled its Ambassador to Yerevan for consultations. A terse statement, published on the website of the Russian Foreign Ministry, said, "The Ambassador of the Russian Federation to the Republic of Armenia , S.P. Kopyrkin, has been summoned to Moscow for consultations in connection with the steps taken by the Armenian leadership to move closer to the European Union, which are detrimental to cooperation within the EAEU." This followed a statement issued the day before, by the leaders of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) that challenges the Armenian trajectory towards approximating to the European Union. Vladimir Putin is undertood to have personally pushed the other four EAEU leaders to issue the statement, which said: "Taking into account the significant risks to the economic security of the member states of the Eurasian Economic Union (hereinafter referred to as the Union) arising in connection with the preparation of the Republic of Armenia for accession to the European Union, as well as the need to prevent the associated damage to the member states of the Union: decided that the members of the Eurasian Intergovernmental Council from the Republic of Belarus, the Republic of Kazakhstan, the Kyrgyz Republic and the Russian Federation will report at the next meeting of the Supreme Eurasian Economic Council in December 2026 on the possible consequences of the suspension of the Treaty on the Eurasian Economic Union with respect to the Republic of Armenia. We share the position on the need to hold a national referendum in the Republic of Armenia as soon as possible on joining the European Union or continuing to be part of the Eurasian Economic Union."

Thursday Interview: Murad Muradov

Today, commonspace.eu starts a new regular weekly series. THURSDAY INTERVIEW, conducted by Lauri Nikulainen, will host  persons who are thinkers, opinion shapers, and implementors in their countries and spheres. We start the series with an interview with Murad Muradov, a leading person in Azerbaijan's think tank community. He is also the first co-chair of the Action Committee for a new Armenian-Azerbaijani Dialogue. Last September he made history by being the first Azerbaijani civil society activist to visit Armenia after the 44 day war, and the start of the peace process. Speaking about this visit Murad Muradov said: "My experience was largely positive. My negative expectations luckily didn’t play out. The discussions were respectful, the panel format bringing together experts from Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Turkey was particularly valuable during the NATO Rose-Roth Seminar in Yerevan, and media coverage, while varied in tone, remained largely constructive. Some media outlets though attempted to represent me as more of a government mouthpiece than an independent expert, which was totally misleading.  Overall, I see these initiatives as important steps in rebuilding trust and normalising professional engagement. The fact that soon a larger Azerbaijani civil society visits to Armenia followed, reinforces the sense that this process is moving in the right direction."
