The constitutional referendum in Armenia: the institutionalisation of the oligarchy

On 6 December 2015 a referendum on amendments to the Constitution was held in Armenia. 63.3% of voters were in favour of the amendments (with a turnout of 50.5%). The referendum was only monitored by representatives of CIS countries. According to the opposition, the government falsified the results and overestimated the turnout; on 6 and 7 December 2015 the opposition held demonstrations in Yerevan, but only a few hundred people attended.
