Factor of NKR's ex-defense minister Samvel Babayna is serious for any political force of Artsakh, Gegham Baghdasaryan, the head of the Stepanakert Press Club told ArmInfo.
"The recently founded promising opposition party 'National Revival' together with that factor is becoming rather serious an opponent. The May 3 parliamentary elections in Artsakh will differ from the previous ones with true competition," he said.
Baghdasaryan sees nothing surprising that Samvel Babayan's name is not included in the National Revival Party list.
"The Party just announced that Babayan is ready to support the only opposition force in Artsakh. No one has said that Babayan will lead the National Revival Party list or will be back to consolidate the Artsakh oppositionists. As for the reports on Babayan's suggestions to Vitaly Balasanyan, there is no reliable data on it," Baghdasaryan said.
Earlier Mass Media reported that MP Vitaly Balasanyan allegedly refused from negotiations and cooperation with Samvel Babayan. Leader of the Free Motherland Party Arthur Tovmasyan, in turn, said that Babayan has no intention to lead the opposition of Artsakh.
