Levon Zurabyan: No clearheaded citizen will vote for Constitutional reforms

No clearheaded citizen in Armenia will vote for the Constitutional reforms, which are aimed towards the retention of Serzh Sargsyan's power, Head of the Armenian National Congress Faction Levon Zurabyan announced at today's press conference. 

According to him, Armenian society will vote against the reforms. He brought an argument that during the meetings with the citizens in the regions he noticed that the people do not trust the authorities and the reforms conducted by them. "The society realizes that the authorities intend to rig the referendum in order to ensure 700 thousand votes necessary for the passing of the draft", the politician emphasized.

At the same time Zurabyan thinks that the authorities intend to organize " brigade of multiple times voters" in Yerevan and Syunik region. In order to fail the ruling regime's "mission" it is necessary to take an active part in the voting and organize a public control in the electoral districts, he noted.

To recall, the New Armenia Movement and "No" Front united against Constitutional reforms and the upcoming referendum to be held on December 6. Levon Zurabyan, Head of the Armenian National Congress Faction, head the "No!" Front. The Founding Parliament coordinator Zhirayr Sefilyan leads the New Armenia Movement headquarters. He announced about the Movement's intention to launch the process of power shift from December 1. He assured that the Movement will not recede and will go till the end for reaching its goal. "In case the authorities try to use force, they will get adequate response", Sefilyan stated.
