    LAWS MORE IMPORTANT THAN PERSONAL OPINION

    According to the RA Constitution, the power in our country belongs to our
    people. The same Constitution states that the people express their opinion
    via elections and referenda. However the society does not have the right to
    initiate a referendum. When commenting on the issue first Armenian Ombudsman
    Larisa Alaverdyan said, «I suppose the issue is subject to discussion and
    should receive a positive development».

    Nevertheless, she was cautious to express her opinion. He did not openly
    protest the citizens' right for referendum on any issue. «I by no means say
    that it conflicts with the legislative field. Any expansion of human rights
    and approach to the international norms is admissible and we welcome it.
    However the circumstances of state development should be taken into
    consideration and clauses conflicting with the Constitution should not be
    adopted. This is the fundamental approach by our part', she said. To make
    the approach wightier Larisa Alaverdyan resorted to international standards.
    `International norms speak of correspondence to geopolitical and personal
    conditions'.

    Being the human rights defender and witnessing the imperfection of the RA
    laws Larisa Alaverdyan nevertheless bring forth the condition of not
    conflicting with the laws. When responding to the question whether the RA
    Constitution should empower citizens with the right to hold referendums the
    human rights defender said, «It is a very specific issue. I support items
    providing for expansion of human rights. However it should be legal.»
