It means that the day of adoption of the Organic Law will come soon, NKR Prosecutor General, head of the working group for the development of NKR Constitution Armen Zalinyan said."NKR has lived without Constitution for 15 years. No single newly formed state can adopt the Constitution within a short term. Experience of state building is necessary for it. NKR had to wage imposed war and then overcome the postwar hardships in legal, socio-economic and cultural sectors. In the course of 15 years we have gained certain experience of state building, what is a sufficient basis for the adoption of the Constitution," Zalinyan remarked. "The NKR Constitution will be adopted at a national referendum. I am convinced that our people will take active part in it, since the adoption of the Constitution will be one more step towards formation and consolidation of our republic," he emphasized, Azat Artsakh newspaper reports.
