A number of Armenian lawyers opposed the referendum on amending the constitution and intend to prove that the reference to the declaration of independence does not interfere with the conclusion of peace. Constitutional researcher Gohar Maloyan pointed out that Baku, by demanding to change the Armenian constitution, has already violated the peace agreement that was signed in the past, which contradicts the principle of non-interference in internal affairs. Armenia's powerful deputy, Liana Gasparian, warned of possible new demands from Baku in the Sionik, Vyots Dzor and Jharkonik regions. Iqab coordinator, Abtik Halabian, declared a threat to sovereignty due to the ongoing concessions of the authorities and called on the society to unite against constitutional changes under external pressure.
