He stressed that “it is necessary to take all measures so that this does not happen again, and to take all measures so that each party assumes its full responsibilities,” stressing that “the matter is related to the fate of a state and the fate of a people, and there is no room for tolerance with those who want to thwart the referendum by all means because they fear the sovereignty of the people.” And they fear that he expresses his opinion freely.”
