YEREVAN. –President Serzh Sargsyan issued a message of congratulations to the Armenian nation on the occasion of Constitution Day.

“July 5 is indeed a momentous day for us. On that day, our people made their historic choice. At the same time, everyone knew that it was impossible to become a democratic, social, and legal state through a referendum, just in one day. It is a long road and a serious process.

“The Main Law of our land is called upon to guarantee the rights and freedoms of our citizens. We, as a state and as a society, are getting closer step by step to the remarkable goal that is enshrined in our Constitution.

“Once again conveying my congratulations on the occasion of this significant state holiday, I wish us all to have a state that grows stronger by the day, strong guarantees for the protection of human rights and freedoms, and application of the rule of law in all domains of our social life,” the President’s message reads, in particular.
