Serge Sargsyan: People will Say "Yes" to Constitutional AmendmentsOctober 18, 2005 - 16:46 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - If the outcome of the referendum on the Constitution of Armenia is negative, that will not be a catastrophe, however "I consider the constituency attendance will be rather high and people will say "yes" to the amendments to the Original Law." Armenian Defense Minister Serge Sargsyan stated it in a conversation with journalists. "In case good work is done, the constituency attendance will be rather high. However, speaking of the outcomes is premature yet," stated the Armenian MOD head. It should be noted that the referendum on constitutional amendments is scheduled on November 27. Speaking of his coming visit to the US, Mr. Sargsyan stated, "I do not think my visit to the US can be crucial for solving any matters between Armenia and the US." "A visit of a defense minister is important and will promote strengthening our relations in the military field, of course." At that Armenia is not trying to deepen relations with the US at the expense of those with Russia, he noted. "We wish to have good relations both with Russia and the US. Armenia and the Armenian people will only benefit from it," Sargsyan emphasized, reported IA Regnum.
