    ARMENIAN MOD HEAD: CONSTITUTION IS MAIN DOCUMENT OF COUNTRY SUBJECT TO CHANGE

    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ "If the referendum over the Constitution in
    Armenia fails, I will not consider that the people have expressed
    their distrust to the incumbent authorities: as you remember, there
    were referendums in European countries that were not adopted either,
    however this was not evaluated as distrust to the authorities." This
    statement was made by Armenian Defense Minister Serge Sargsyan
    today. "Trust or distrust of the authorities is a relative concept,
    as 50.1% may trust something, while 49.9% may distrust it.

    The Constitution is the main document of the country that should
    be subject to changes as time goes by. The draft of course
    includes provisions that is desired to touch upon, however on the
    whole the option is acceptable," Sargsyan noted. The head of the
    Armenian MOD commented over the critical statements of opposition
    forces in the Parliament, voiced within the second reading of the
    draft amendments. "The criticism by the opposition was of course
    expected. The attacked of myself, as well as the Republican Party
    were also expected. However, the coalition was not silent, trying to
    explain the essence of the changes in every way possible for them
    to be understandable to our people. I think within this period the
    task of making the main point of the referendum clear to the society
    is available. Touching upon statements of National Unity opposition
    party leader Artashes Geghamyan, the head of the Armenian MOD noted,
    "Geghamyan, as usual, has tried to say something, however I did not
    listen to him. He is a liar and talebearer, at that he is an idle
    man, who also panics. I do not know what is the reason for his panic,
    probably his recurrent proposal on cooperation was turned down. It
    seems to him that he is the hub of the universe, though neither me, nor
    other state officials, proceeding from our national dignity, did not
    allow ourselves, as Geghamyan stated, to discuss either Geghamyan's or
    another one's person with Russian or European colleagues," S. Sargsyan
    noted, reported IA Regnum.
