CHOICE BETWEEN CHRISTIAN AND MUSLIM WAYS
Support A1+!November 27 a referendum on constitutional amendments will be held in Armenia
This is an examination for the authorities, who took lessons of democracy from Europe. This event will reveal the attitude of the national towards the leadership. However this choice will be falsified. The coalition forces certainly do not conditioned the outcome of the referendum by the trust to the authorities. “If we receive a positive result, we will have a state based on democratic grounds, with balanced power branches and good international reputation. Negative outcome would mean denial of everything we have achieved during these years and our country will have not future despite of change of power”, ARFD leader Levon Mkrtchyan said.
With the adoption of the constitutional amendments, Armenia will rapidly develop, RPA leader Galust Sahakyan stated. “If the referendum fails Armenia will not be able to secure a proper position within international structures”, he noted adding that the outcome should be positive only. “We could choose either Muslim or Christian path. We have chosen the Christian one, that is the European criteria, since they concord with our national values. Over this reason I hope for the positive outcome of the referendum”, he said.
Positive outcome of the referendum will become a considerable progress, Orinats Yerkir Party member Samvel Balasanyan considers. In his words, there are plenty of important items essential for Armenia on the way of integration to the European structures. “Though the operating constitution is not exhausted, the amendments are very important. Samvel Balasanyan is convinced that the authorities will not resort to forgery. “We will closely watch the process and do everything to make the election fair and free. This a very important draft and it will be the basis for further steps”, he resumed.
