NPA chief: Egyptians are convinced of importance of constitutional amendments

CAIRO, April 20 (MENA) - Chairman of the National Press Authority (NPA) Karam Gabr said on Saturday that the high turnout of citizens on the polling stations to cast their ballots in the referendum on the constitutional amendments reflects that they are convinced of the importance of the amendments and keen to practice their constitutional right.

The NPA chief made the remarks after casting his ballot in the referendum in New Cairo's Fifth Settlement district.

The constitutional amendments outline a road for the future and protect gains and achievements of the Egyptian State, Gabr said, adding that they also help expand public participation, mainly women, youths and Copts, in the political process.
