TWO FRONTS OR SEPARATE OPPOSITIONS

Agitators

Yesterday coalition parties proportionally formed a pre-election staff of
agitation of constitutional amendments.

Budget will also be formed proportionally, leader of Armenian Revolutionary
Federation Levon Lazarian stated today during Parliamentary briefings.
Until November 27th coalition staff will persuade and explain to society
privileges of constitutional amendments. It won’t be difficult to persuade
members of United Labor Party. Though principle suggestions of ULP were not
taken into account, they have no serious reasons to say `no’ to
constitutional amendments, member of the party Grigor Ghonjeyan said.

`There’s no a single serious factor that amendments make the Constitution
worse’, – Mr. Ghonjeyan noted, not considering that such position means à
disawoval of principles.

The coalition staff will be supported by People’s party, not financially as
member of the party Mkrtich Minasyan stated. The latter is going to say
«yes» to constitutional amendments.

Anti-Agitators

According to NU deputy Koryun Arakelyan constitutional amendments do not
solve the existing problems, do not make our country mor democratic, so
they’ll agitate against constitutional amendments.

Why then NU did not join the 16 parties saying «no» to constitutional
amendments. Mr. Arakelyan marks, that they wanted to form a `second front,
like during World War II». Besides those 16 parties haven’t decided yet
whether they would vote in or boycotte the referendum. NU is against
boycotte, as `those boycotting do not follow their results’. Secretary of NU
party Viktor Dallakyan says he is for voting and saying `no’ to
constitutional amendments.

By the way, it’s not clear yet who will lead both agitators and antis.
