The union which consists of 6 non-governmental organizations calls the citizens to actively take part in the process of discussion of the Constitutional amendments organized by them.

Today during the press conference organized by the Union several amendments were represented. In particular, according to Khachik Voskanyan, president of the non-governmental organization «Choice is Yours», by the coalition draft Robert Kocharyan has super authorizations. According to him, the President must not appoint either the Attorney General or the Prime Minister or the mayor, «The National Assembly has small authorizations which gives the President the possibility to become the only governor».

According to Artak Kirakosyan, President of the Civic Society Institute, the coalition draft has serious shortcomings which are dangerous for the society. According to him, the authorities are indifferent towards the Constitutional amendments, and the opposition has decided to unanimously say «NO» to the coalition draft.
