YEREVAN, OCTOBER 11. ARMINFO. Armenian parliamentarian representing
the opposition bloc "Justice," Arshak Sadoyan, has appealed to the
international organizations in Armenia (OSCE, CE) and local businessmen
for financial assistance.
Speaking at today's press-conference at the office of his party,
"Bloc of National Democrats," Arshak Sadoyan has levered harsh
criticism at oppositionists for passivity and indifference to the
national referendum of November 27. He thinks it necessary that all
the 17-20 parties which are against the Constitutional reforms be
represented at all the 1,865 polling stations. It will be an "army of
35-40,000 people." As 90% of the population will either neglect the
voting or vote "against" the draft, the authority will have to stuff
the ballot-boxes. Only the opposition can control over the voting.
However, it requires funds. For this purpose, the party intends to
open a special account with one of the native banks.
Asked why the well-off oppositionists do not fund the campaign,
Sadoyan said : "to avoid ambitions." " We cannot agree who will
head the counter-agitation campaign, each opposition party acts
independently," Sadoyan complained. He also criticized Secretary of
Venice Commission Gianni Buquicchio who "once stated that being on
leave, he could not read the draft, then he stated that he has read
the draft and agreed with it. Later he stressed some progress of the
draft Constitution. Then he said that the draft fully meets European
standards and the omissions can be filled through evolution." Sadoyan
accused the parliamentary majority for not inviting him to the meeting
of G. Buquicchio with Armenian parliamentarians.
