    Text of report by Armenian news agency Noyan Tapan

    Yerevan, 5 July: The presidential press service has sent Noyan Tapan news
    agency President Robert Kocharyan's message on Constitution Day. It says:

    "Dear Fellow Citizens,

    "I congratulate you on Constitution Day.

    "The adoption of a constitution has historic significance for any people and
    state. It was a powerful impulse for radical reform in Armenian legislation,
    for consolidation of the people's power and for confirmation of the
    supremacy of the law.

    "In celebrating Constitution Day, we citizens are celebrating our rights and
    freedoms.

    "The current constitution has shown its viability many times. Its unswerving
    application guarantees legality and stability in the country. On the other
    hand, the need to refine the constitution has arisen in our society, to
    bring it into line with the contemporary demands of development.

    "Once again congratulating you on Constitution Day, I tell you of my belief
    that our country's basic law will be refined and will long serve the people
    of Armenia."
