Constitution will aim to strengthen Artsakhi people's right of
self-determination at the Constitutional level, develop democracy,
establish a full-fledged legitimate statehood, protect human rights
and freedoms, foster the local self-government and establish a civil
society.
NKR has been lacking Constitution for 15 years as it had to wage
the war forced upon it, to overcome the war aftermath. During the
last 15 years, the country has accumulated a definite experience
in the building of a state, which is a proper basis for adoption of
Constitution, Zalinyan says. The Constitution of NKR will meet the
international trends of constitutional development and requirements.

strengthening of the independent statehood. "For this purpose, all
the necessary mechanisms were defined. Armenia's experience in the
sphere proved important for the elaboration process. The experience
of other states in development of constitution is also considered
i.e. everything positive is successfully applied," he says. The
Constitution will be adopted through a nation-wide referendum. It
will become another significant step in the way to establishment and
strengthening of NKR, Zalinyan says.
