RA Prime Minister Serzh Sargsyan's Congratulatory Message on Constitution Day
Dear Compatriots,
I congratulate you on the Day of Constitution. As the chief law of a country, a constitution is the key to the formation and development of any State. The Constitution of the Republic of Armenia has been a legal, political and ideological instrument for Armenia's sovereign statehood by providing a regulatory framework for all types of legal relations and anticipating the way for our State's development. Amended by a nationwide referendum, based on the fundamental principles of the Armenian nationhood and all-national goals, in parallel to the development of our State and in line with the modern requirements, this reformed constitution formulates new tasks and offers broader possibilities for the realization of our all-national goals, the emergence, strengthening and development of a democratic Armenian statehood, the improvement of the population's well-being.
As a result of the constitutional amendments, significant changes have been made to the legislation of the Republic of Armenia, targeted not only to the shaping of new legal institutes, but also to the implementation of second-generation reforms and provision of higher living standards in our country.
Congratulating you once again on the Day Constitution, I wish you all every success.
