RA Prime Minister calls on Armenian citizens abroad to take part in referendum on constitutional amendments

Arminfo, Armenia
Feb 10 2020

ArmInfo.RA Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan called on Armenian citizens who, for objective and subjective reasons are abroad, to come by April 5 and  participate in  the referendum on constitutional amendments.

In his address posted on Facebook, the head of government noted that  there is an opportunity for return, bearing in mind the appearance of  low-cost carriers such as Ryanair and Wizz Air in the Armenian  market.  "Say yes to the revolution, say yes to the rule of law, say  yes to the present and future of Armenia," Nikol Pashinyan said.

It should be noted that on February 6, the Armenian parliament  decided to submit draft amendments to the Constitution to the  referendum. 88 MPs voted for this decision, 15 MPs – against, and  abstained -0. Many deputies and human rights activists said that this  decision is unconstitutional, since initially the deputies had to  send their proposal to the Constitutional Court. To recall, even  before the vote, the Prosperous Armenia faction stated that it would  not take part in the vote.
