NON-GOVERNMENTAL ORGANIZATIONS ADVERTISE CONSTITUTIONAL REFORMS
YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 14, ARMENPRESS: Several Armenian non-governmental
organizations denounced today the country's political forces for
'monopolizing' the process of constitutional reforms and slammed the
opposition for advocating a 'no' vote to the package of constitutional
amendments that will be put on a national referendum approximately in the
second half of November, saying they were ready to assume the task of
explaining to the people the positive core of the changes.
Elinar Vardanian, the head of the Center for Public Dialogue and
Development that is coordinating the non-governmental organizations' efforts
to make voters aware of the reform process, said only well-informed citizens
would be able to make a right choice. "Many people want to politicize this
issue, we do not want this as speculations may result in further
polarization of the society,' she said.
Two of these organizations have received already money from the budget to
advertise the package of constitutional reforms through a series of
seminars, also for local mass media.
