Appeal to Mass Medias

On July 19 presidential elections are going to be held in Nagorno-Karabakh. For the country which strives to be internationally recognized, free, competitive and transparent elections are very important for further development and changes in all aspects.
Accordingly, it is of utmost importance that the pre-election rally passes in the atmosphere of political debates and be a center of attention of the public. To provide this, the enrollment the Armenian society and information field is necessary, while the latter reference to social-political developments can’t be considered adequate.
To fill this gap we appeal Mass Medias of Armenia to provide consistent, professional and interested elucidation of pre-election rally in Nagorno-Karabakh at least at the last stage. Taking into account the existence of linkage of actions between Nagorno-Karabakh and Armenia, it is significant for both countries and their population.
