A few days ago, Graparak , a newspaper known for its insider reporting, revealed that Karabakh separatists, now entrenched in Armenia, held a clandestine "parliamentary session." This self-proclaimed body adopted — remarkably — a "constitutional amendment" and discussed plans for upcoming "elections." The separatists’ farcical reenactment of governance continues, now gearing up for a so-called "presidential election." On March 21, Samvel Shahramanyan’s illegitimate "presidential" term expires, and "Artsakh" is bracing for yet another crisis. It remains unclear whether Shahramanyan will seek to extend his authority.
