ARMENIAN SPEAKER CONGRATULATED COMPATRIOTS ON CONSTITUTION DAY
Chairman of the National assembly of Armenia Artur Baghdassaryan congratulated citizens of the Republic on the 10th anniversary of adoption of the Constitution, reported the Press Service of the Armenian Parliament. The congratulation message specifically says, «The first Constitution of the Republic of Armenia was adopted by means of a referendum July 5 ten years ago. Past years have shown our Constitution proved its viability at the hardest time. However, life goes on putting forwards new tasks and demands that need legislative regulation at the level of the organic law first of all. Today it is evident that amendments of the Organic Law are necessary for progress. We should implement constitutional reforms that are necessary to our people and issue from international standards. Congratulating all Armenian citizens on the Constitution Day I am sure that being adopted 10 years ago the document was efficient in the hard days of the past decade. And the new one that will be put for nation-wide referendum in autumn will lead Armenia to a law-governed state with civil society as well.»
