Hovik Abrahamyan to lead Republican Party's Constitutional Referendum Campaign Headquarters

Prime Minister of  Armenia Hovik Abrahamyan will head the Republican Party's Campaign  Headquarters for the Constitutional Reform. Spokesperson of the  Party, Vice Speaker of the Armenian Parliament Eduard Sharmazanov  told reporters a decision on it was adopted at the extraordinary  meeting of the RPA Executive Body on October 19.  

The RPA spokesperson told reporters that Serzh Sargsyan charged Hovik  Abrahamyan to set up and head the campaign headquarters throughout  the country for the Constitutional Referendum of December 6. 

"The prime ministers with partners will set up the headquarters as  early as within the coming days," Sharmazanov said. In his words, the  prime minister does not need to take a leave, as Armenia's law on  referendum does not ban combining the responsibilities of the prime  minister and the organizer of a political party's campaign for a  referendum. 

To recall, Hovik Abrahamuan headed the campaign headquarters also  during the parliamentary elections 2012. Then he had to leave the  post of the parliament speaker. 

The referendum of Constitutional amendments is scheduled for December  6. The campaign started on October 10 and will over on November 4.
