Day of referendum has been appointed and the people are to decide on their own whether to go to the voting or no and whether to say yes or no, deputy from Bright Armenia faction Taron Simonyan told the reporters today.

As to whether the RA president had an opportunity to send the draft on constitutional amendments to the CC but did not do it, the deputy said, “It is difficult for me to comment on it. Let the president comment on his actions himself. The Constitution gives him an opportunity to apply to the CC, but the president did not choose this option.”

The deputy said they expressed their position at the voting and added that the faction will convene a special session to discuss how to act till the referendum.

As to whether Bright Armenia will head the “No” headquarters, Simonyan said the issue is yet to be discussed.

“The propaganda has not only launched, but Mr Pashinyan made a statement on Facebook. It means the propaganda machine has been operated on the highest level,” Simonyan said.
