    COUNCIL ALDERMEN OF INTELECTUALS' FORUM CALLS TO BOYCOTT REFERENDUM OF
    CONSTITUTIONAL REFORMS

    YEREVAN, AUGUST 26, NOYAN TAPAN. The Council of Aldermen of the
    Intelecturals' Forum calls on the citizens of the republic to boycott
    the referendum on the constitutional reforms to be held in November.
    This is said in the August 25 address of the organization. According
    to authors of the document, the authorities' stating the constitutional
    reforms as of most importance follows one main goal: to make
    legitimate the power not elected and formed by the people. "By this
    regular simple and shameless step of disorientating the society, the
    authorities want to give a legal and countinuable character to
    shameful crimes committed and to be committed by them," the address
    reads. The Council of Aldermen of the Intelectuals' Forum finds that
    if parties participate in discussions of the Constitutional reforms,
    and the people participates in the referendum, even with an intention
    to say "No," it will be considered as recognition of the authorities'
    legitimacy by the people. According to the Council of Aldermen's
    estimation, it will be an inadmissible mistake "with all negative
    consequences coming out of it." According to the authors of the
    address, particularly, if the authorities make decision not beneficial
    for Armenia concerning the Artakh problem, "they may quote that they
    are those elected by the people and fulfil the people's will, in the
    case, when the 2003 president's and parliamentary elections were
    widely falsified, the power was taken, and nobody has been punished
    for that hard crime by now."
