“The historical event in 1924 proved the results of Mongolians’ fight for freedom which lasted for 200 years, national independence in 1911, 1921, and the stubborn struggle for the change in state and society establishment. The adoption and implementation of the Constitution put the foundation of modern legal environment based on freedom and justice. And also it created values such as public involvement in political life, rights to elect, to be elected and rights of publication. Therefore it led to creation of many governmental and public organizations which reflected the characteristics of Mongolian politics, society and economy. The first article of the new Constitution says, ‘Mongolia is an independent, Republic country’. And I hope this phrase is in the heart of every individual. Now we are following the regular democratic system where the state is formed by public elections. And this gives the public opportunity to elect and to be elected, but also a very high responsibility. People’s understanding and sensibility on controlling the government’s activity is being increased. This is a clear manifestation of democratic development” said N. Enkhbayar, the President, on the occasion of the 82nd anniversary of the adoption of Mongolia’s first Constitution and Independence Day. (Ardiin Erkh)
