YEREVAN (YERKIR) – The NKR Constitution Committee is discussing
the two initial chapters of the Constitution, these being the
bases of constitutional order and fundamental rights, freedoms and
responsibilities of an individual and citizen.

It means that the day of adoption of the Organic Law will come soon,
NKR Prosecutor General, head of the working group for the development
of NKR Constitution Armen Zalinyan said.

“NKR has lived without Constitution for 15 years. No single newly
formed state can adopt the Constitution within a short term. Experience
of state building is necessary for it.

NKR had to wage imposed war and then overcome the postwar hardships
in legal, socio-economic and cultural sectors. In the course of 15
years we have gained certain experience of state building, what is
a sufficient basis for the adoption of the Constitution,” Zalinyan
remarked.

“The NKR Constitution will be adopted at a national referendum. I
am convinced that our people will take active part in it, since the
adoption of the Constitution will be one more step towards formation
and consolidation of our republic,” he emphasized, Azat Artsakh
