SOME FOR, SOME AGAINST

`Referendum as an important institute should be fixed in the Constitution’,
Armenian Justice Minister David Harutyunyan considers. In his opinion the
Constitution should also determine issues not subject to referendum, for
example the issues referring to taxes.

The Justice Minister does not support the idea of empowering the people with
the right to initiate a referendum. `If the issue is very important to the
people they can bring it to the National Assembly with the help of deputies
elected by them. There should be a filter in face of the President or the
National Assembly’, David Harutyunyan said.
