THE ARMENIAN COLOR OF REVOLUTIONS – CONSTITUTIONAL REFORMS
Support A1+!According to the Armenian Revolutionary Federation, the adoption of the draft Constitution will have the effect of a revolution. «Our social-political life has the possibility to be subverted in case of voting for the draft Constitution», said member of the ARF, chief editor of the weekly «Yerkir» Spartak Seyranyan today during the seminar «The RA Amended Draft Constitution on the Eve of the Referendum» in the «Tekeyan» cultural center.
The representative of ARF Armen Roustamyan made it clear for those who say «revolution» and understand «change of authorities» that «the revolution is not an end in itself». Pointing at the post-revolution developments in Georgia and Ukraine, Mr. Roustamyan said, «We saw what revolutions can result in. They must be ended after coming to power, not with it».
Referring to the Constitutional referendum Mr. Roustamyan said that in case of saying «No» we will have serious problems with the CoE. According to him, only the positive answer will open a door to the processes of realization of democratic and human rights.
According to the head of the non-governmental organization «Democracy» Vardan Pogosyan, the constitutional reforms are a step forward from the previous one, «which had one primitive conception – to give everything to the RA President as he is always right». But in the amended version the mechanisms of the relations between the President and the NA are not processed either.
According to the head of the program «Armenia to Europe» Aram Safaryan who had organized the seminar, this discussion is not the last one. The next seminar will be devoted to the theme «Armenia after the referendum».
