YEREVAN, DECEMBER 13, NOYAN TAPAN. The referendum on NKR Constitution
was to take place earlier, as it is able to regulate the whole
public life and to give a legal status to the acting bodies
of the power. Political scientist Alexan Manasian, Head of YSU
Theoretical Philosophy and Logic Department, gave assurance at
the December 13 meeting with journalists. In his words, Artsakh
people’s active participation in the referendum is evidence that
the Constitution has been approved by the whole people. "Since 2001,
RA and NKR state officials have adopted the policy of establishment
of Karabakh independence, which is more beneficial than the idea of
unification," A.Manasian said. In his words, thanks to such approach
is will be possible "to register diplomatic success." A.Manasian
also said that one should not depair of the negative reaction of
some countries and international structures in connection with the
referendum. The political scientist reminded the OSCE’s 1992 decision,
according to which this organization considers as conflict parties
RA, Azerbaijan and Nagorno Karabakh’s "elected representatives." In
A.Manasian’s words, this decision itself obliged NKR population to
hold elections. And to have elected representatives means to have
legal authorities and laws, which is also registered by the newly
adopted Constitution.
