Chorrord Ishkhanutyun: Community enlargement referendum fails

The referendum on the enlargement of communities, held in a total of 22 villages in Lori, Tavush and Syunik provinces of Armenia on Sunday, has, in essence, failed, Chorrord Ishkhanutyun writes.

Syunik province had an unprecedented turnout, with the majority voting for the enlargement, while the other two provinces had the opposite picture: the voters turned down the initiative, the newspaper says.
