A congratulatory message from Armen Hovannisyan, the acting director of the “Service for the Protection of Historical Environment and Cultural Museum-reservations” SNCO, on the occasion of the Constitution Day of the Republic of Armenia

Dear compatriots,

The 5^th of July is a historically significant day for all of us. After the adoption of the Constitution of the Republic of Armenia on 5 July 1995, was declared a state holiday. Amendments to the Constitution of the Republic of Armenia were introduced through referendums on November 27, 2005, and on December 6, 2015.

The Constitution is not only the symbol of independent statehood, but also the basic law, and the blueprint for the further construction, development, and strengthening of the same state.

“In the Republic of Armenia the power belongs to the people”/ Article 2 of the Constitution of the Republic of Armenia/, and “The human being, his/her dignity, and the fundamental human rights and freedoms are an ultimate value”, /Article 3 of the Constitution of the Republic of Armenia/. The Constitution protects various individual liberties of the citizens.

I congratulate you on this special day, I wish we will do our best to preserve and protect the rights and freedoms of the citizens enshrined in the constitution.
