Campaigning officially began in Nagorno-Karabakh on Tuesday for upcoming parliamentary elections that promise to be more tightly contested than similar polls held in the past.
About 220 candidates mostly representing 7 political parties will be vying for 33 seats in the Karabakh legislature currently controlled by a three-party coalition allied to Bako Sahakian, the unrecognized republic's president. Sahakian is not affiliated with any political group.
Twenty-two of the parliament seats are up for grabs under the system of proportional representation. The remaining 11 seats will be distributed on May 3 in single-mandate constituencies.
