"On April 27, at the second People's Kurultai, we will start collecting signatures. By law, we have to collect 10,000. We will submit them to the Parliament," said Azimbek Beknazarov.
It is proposed to hold a referendum on November 24, 2019 before the elections to the Parliament.

"We know that the president is against amendments to the Constitution until 2020. We appreciate his openness.
