CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS – ANOTHER INSTRUMENT IN KARABAKH ISSUE
Support A1+!“REFERENDUM ON CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS IF DOOMED TO FAILURE”, Vahagn Aytsoyan states.
The Armenian National Movement has never changed its position on the constitutional amendments”, ANM board member Vahagn Aytsoyan stated in a conversation with A1+ reporter.
V. Aytsoyan describes the enthusiasm of the Venice Commission as regards the draft constitutional amendments in the following way, “An extra instrument on Armenia in Karabakh issue is beneficial to all parties. Constitutional amendments will not contribute to the development of democracy in Armenia. Robert Kocharian has no right to implement constitutional changes. He has violated the Organic Law more than any other official.”
When asked “Has Levon Ter-Petrosyan ever violated the Constitution?” the ANM board member said, “No. I can’t remember such a case.” He is convinced that the referendum on the constitutional amendments in Armenia is doomed to failure. “1/3 of the Armenian population will never say “yes” to the reviewed Constitution”, he said adding that the authorities will not falsify the outcomes of the referendum.
