AUTHORITIES SHOULD BE KEPT ON TENTERHOOKS
Opposition will say `no’ to the constitutional amendments. However some
tactical issues are still being discussed. According to Justice faction
secretary Victor Dallakyan the faction will convoke a sitting after Robert
Kocharyan signed the decree on condution of the referendum.
40 days is not a short term for spreading anti-propaganda, he is convinced.
In his opinion, taking into account the fact that 800 thousand votes `for’
are essential for providing a quorum the opposition should first of all try
to call the citizens to boycott the referendum or vote `against’. `The most
important thing people have to realize is that no one can force them to go
to the polling station and vote’, he says.
Victor Dallakyan thinks that the presence of 2 observers from each party
will become a serious obstacle for electoral fraud.
National Unity secretary Alexan Karapetyan also attaches importance to the
activities of the opposition and vigilance of the election committee
members. Contrary to Victor Dallakyan he considers that the citizens should
take part in the referendum and say `no’ to the constitutional amendments.
In his opinion the anti-propaganda should be spread by means of direct
communication with the people. `We should keep the authorities on
tenterhooks to reduce the volume of fraud’, A. Karapetyan noted.
