YEREVAN. – The Armenian Revolutionary Federation (ARF) Dashnaktsutyun Party—which supports the proposed constitutional amendments—does not underscore the constitutional amendments, but rather their adoption by way of a normal referendum as possible.

Secretary of the ARF National Assembly Faction, Aghvan Vardanyan, said the abovementioned at a press conference on Monday.

“If we theoretically imagine that there will be one-hundred-percent fair elections, it’s all the same,” Vardanyan noted. “There will be groups that will say the referendum was rigged.”

In his words, 650 thousand votes can be secured through campaigning.

The ARF MP also expressed a conviction that should Armenia wish to hold fair elections, the international organizations will provide the respective amount of money.

The referendum on Armenia’s draft constitutional amendments is slated for December 6.

Pursuant to the new draft Constitution, the country will make a transition from a semi-presidential to a parliamentary system of governance.

The opponents of the proposed constitutional amendments, however, consider them to be primarily the authorities’ attempt to hang on to power.
