Third Sahakyan government
Former government of the Republic of Artsakh (2017–2020) / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sahakyan's government was the governing body of Artsakh from 25 September 2017 to 21 May 2020. It is the first cabinet after constitutional referendum in 2017, after which the country was transitioned from a semi-presidential system to a presidential system. As a result, presidential elections were delayed until 2020 in order to be held alongside legislative elections.[1] In July 2017 the National Assembly elected the President for the next three years until the general election. 28 members of National Assembly voted for Bako Sahakyan, 4 of them voted for Eduard Aghabekyan, while one of the MPs did not vote for any of the candidates.
