The opposition does not undertake drastic measures before the
constitutional referendum, since the alliance experiences problems over
ambitions. This is the opinion of leader of the National Democratic
Alliance Arshak Sadoyan, who accused the opposition of passiveness.

He mentioned the names of Stepan Demirchyan, Artashes Geghamyan and
Aram Z.

Sargsyan noting that the initiative of any of them will kill the idea
of forming a joint headquarters. “Unfortunately ambitions strangle
the opposition. Somebody must take radical moves.” In Arshak Sadoyan’s
opinion this “somebody” is he himself.

Despite the fact that Arshak Sadoyan is not going to quit Justice
bloc. He intends to launch a separate propaganda as regards the
upcoming referendum.

WHAT WILL SAVE THE FATHER OF ARMENIAN REVOLUTION?

Leader of NDA Arshak Sadoyan is going to call businessmen of middle
class to form a fund for spreading anti-propaganda against the adoption
of the constitutional amendments. When asked why he did not appeal to
his party fellows, whose financial state allows making some donations,
the deputy said, “Probably there are some well-off figures in the
Alliance, however since 2003 one-sided expenses exhausted their
financial possibilities.

Though financial flows are not observed yet, the NDA officially
appealed to the Central Bank with a purpose of creating an agitation
fund. According to Sadoyan, they were the first to make such a request

REFERENDUM ALREADY FAILED FOR SADOYAN

The real number of people, who will take part in the referendum on the
constitutional amendments will not exceed 300-350 thousand, NDA leader
Arshak Sadoyan considers basing upon the results of a survey conducted.

At least 80% of the citizens will be inactive, a those active will give
a “no” vote. In his opinion, the referendum has no other alternative
but failure, since 800-850 thousand votes “for” are needed for the
adoption of the constitutional amendments.
