New Armenia calls for consolidation
The power of people is usurped in Armenia, “New Armenia” Public Salvation Front said in a statement issued on March 30. “The mechanism of elections has long been turned into a tool of reproduction by the criminal regime. The Electoral Code is a constitutional law. It defines the mechanism of forming the system of state governance and is therefore a major component of the Constitution. Hence, the circulation of the draft Electoral Code after the rigged constitutional referendum of December 6 is viewed as the continuation of usurpation of people’s power and violation of people’s right to self-determination. The adoption of the new Electoral Code can serve as a ground for the consolidation of the opposition and civil society with the aim of unseating the criminal regime and holding early elections. The consolidation of opposition forces and civil society is important to force the implementation of the five demands presented to the regime, viewing them as a whole and excluding concessions with respect to any of these demands,” New Armenia said adding that it expects active participation of opposition forces and civil society in the mobilization of people.
