Artsakh Parliament does not nominate a candidate for NKR presidency  due to  internal political challenges

ArmInfo. The Artsakh Parliament did not nominate and elect a candidate for the NKR presidency upon the expiration of Samvel Shahramanyan's term of office on May 21, 2025, as outlined in Articles 88 and 168.1 of the Constitution. The corresponding statement was shared by the Artsakh National Assembly press service.

The statement emphasizes that the failure to elect a new candidate  was influenced by several factors.  Particularly, this includes  aggression from Azerbaijan, the occupation of Artsakh and the  resulting forced displacement of the local population.

Additionally, the elections did not take place due to the  Armenian  government's stance on resolving the Artsakh conflict and the  activities of the NKR state institutions, as well as the current   political situation in Armenia and the region, along with the  associated threats and challenges.
