The HayaKve initiative has asked the Central Electoral Commission of Armenia (CEC) to give a green light to a bill on Artsakh and the Armenian Genocide.
Under the 2018 referendum law, a citizens' initiative may submit a draft law to the CEC, get its approval and introduce it in the parliament after collecting 50,000 signatures.
The HayaKve initiative handed over a package of relevant documents to the Electoral Commission on Monday.
The bill seeks to make the recognition of Artsakh as a part of any other country and the renunciation of the Armenian Genocide recognition crimes against the constitutional order, lawyer Aram Orbelyan told reporters outside the CEC headquarters in Yerevan.
The CEC can reject the application only if it finds any violations after studying the documents, he said.
"A preliminary study of the documents has been carried out today, so far no obvious violations have been detected, but a detailed study is to be conducted. I don’t think the CEC is likely to reject it. The problem is to confirm it and make a formal decision,” Orbelyan added.
