KARABAKH IS PREPARING FOR REFERENDUM

Lragir, Armenia
Nov 9 2006

Sergey Nasibyan, chair of the NKR Central Electoral Commission said
36 million drams was allocated for holding the referendum. The voters
registers are ready, and the amended draft of the Constitution will
be printed and distributed to the divisional and district commissions.

We have learned that the text of the Constitution is not ready,
whereas the referendum has already been appointed on December 10. The
local experts cannot understand the reason for this hastiness. We have
delayed the adoption of the Constitution for 15 years and suddenly
we decided to adopt it as soon as possible. The problem is that most
people have not read the text and apparently will not manage. Only
a month is left.
