/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Coordinator of the Coordination Council for arranging
for the referendum on constitutional changes Mher Shahgeldyan stated
the propaganda campaign aims at presenting the need for constitutional
changes to the society in a manner that is easy to understand. "Our
goal is to inform the society on the changes, present the importance
of those changes for further development of our country in a simple
and easy-to-understand manner, while making efforts to hold a fair and
transparent referendum," he stated. Working groups are formed within
the Coordination Council: propaganda, press and technical ones. As of
political positions, constitutional changes are necessary to Armenia to
strengthen democracy and develop the political structure, Shahgeldyan
remarked. In his words, the international community - the Council of
Europe, OSCE, EU and US - have positively assessed these changes.
"Today Armenia needs to come to a common consensus. Over 20 political
parties, 100 NGOs, intelligentsia have expressed positive opinions over
the draft changes," Shahgeldyan reported. When answering a question,
whether the opportunities for cooperation with the opposition are used
up and whether the Council is ready to opposition anti-propaganda,
Mr. Shahgeldyan said the work of the Coordination Council is aimed
at the positive outcome of the referendum and not against a political
force. Just owing to that any political force can have its political
stand over the draft constitutional changes and present the its stance
to the society.
