Yerevan, 23 August: The political association called People are
masters of their own country has launched a campaign for restoring
constitutional order in Armenia, Aleksandr Butayev, deputy chairman of
the National-Democratic Union, which is a member of the association,
said at a news conference today.
He said that the association was set up several months ago by a number
of public and political organizations with the aim of restoring the
constitutional system in the country. He went onto say that today's
task was to define whether the constitutional reform "thrust" upon
Armenia by the European community is the primary task or whether
people have other much more important problems that require an urgent
solution.
"How can the president say that he guarantees the implementation of
the constitution, if he himself, his administration and the entire
ruling structure up to the heads of village administrations take
pleasure in violating the constitution. Not constitutional, but
criminal laws have been reigning in Armenia in the past 15 years. In
this regard, the political association is calling on the people to
unite in order to restore the constitutional system and then "to
reform the constitution which was thrust upon the people in 1995",
Butayev said.
