ARMENIAN CONSTITUTION IS 10 YEARS OLD

Today and tomorrow are holidays in Armenia. Although the constitutional
reforms are in full course, the RA citizens are celebrating the Constitution
day. 10 yeas ago on July 5 the first Constitution of the Republic of Armenia
was adopted by referendum.

In this connection the RA NA President Arthur Baghdasaryan has delivered an
congratulating message, «The last few years showed that our Constitution
survived hard times proving its viability. But life goes on challenging us
more and more. These challenges demand the legislative regulation on the
level of the main law of the country.

Today it is clear that in order to progress we need changes in the main law
from which all the other laws of the country proceed. We must realize
constitutional reforms which are necessary for our people and correspond to
the international criteria.

Congratulating all the citizens of the independent Armenia on the day of the
RA Constitutional I am convinced that as the document adopted 10 years ago
supported us in those difficult days, the new variant which will be put to a
referendum in autumn will make our country and constitutional state».
