"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.
