ARTUR BAGHDASARIAN: TODAY IT’S ALREADY OBVIOUS THAT WE NEED AMENDMENTS
IN THE VERY BASIC LAW FOR PROGRESS

YEREVAN, JULY 4, NOYAN TAPAN – ARMENIANS TODAY. RA NA Speaker Artur
Baghdasarian sent a congratulatory message on the occasion of the 10th
anniversary of RA Constitution. The message submitted to Noyan Tapan
by RA NA Public Relations Department, in particular, read: “Dear
compatriots, Exactly 10 years ago, on July 5, the first Constitution
of the Republic of Armenia was adopted by a referendum. The past years
showed that our Constitution proved its viability at difficult
times. But life goes on bringing new problems and new requirements
that first of all require legislative regulation at the level of the
country’s Basic Law. Today it’s already obvious that in order to
achieve progress we need amendments in the very Basic Law, from which
the rest of the country’s laws proceed. We must make constitutional
amendments that are necessary for our people and proceed from the
international criteria. Congratulating all citizens of independent
Armenia on the occasion of the Day of Constitution of the Republic of
Armenia, I am convinced that the new variant that will be put to a
national referendum in autumn will lead the country to a civil society
and legal state just as the variant adopted 10 years ago became an
efficient document on the hard and difficult days of our decade.
