S. Sargsyan: "There is political will"
Serzh Sargsyan's congratulatory message on the occasion of Constitution Day:
Dear fellow Armenians,
I congratulate you all on the occasion of Constitution Day.
The referenda for adopting and making changes in the Constitution clearly showed what kind of a country the people of Armenia would like to live in. This is an indisputable choice, and it is everyone's sacred duty to show respect and loyalty toward that.
The Constitution reflects the Armenian people's goal of building a social, juridical and democratic state. Many efforts have been put in to turn that into a reality, but we must confess that much work remains incomplete. Today, through our steps and our persistence we must be able to stimulate further democratization in the country. Our citizens' rights and liberties established by the Constitution must enter the homes and institutions, cities and villages, and must become not only part of the Constitution, but a norm for living. We can do that since there is the political will of the authorities, as well as the sincere will of a large sector of the people.
Dear fellow Armenians,
I congratulate you once again on Constitution Day, wishing all of us the opportunity to fully enjoy the broad sphere of human rights and liberties that we have predetermined through our selection."
