Serzh Sargsyan addresses message to Armenian people on Constitution Day

Dear Fellow Citizens,

I congratulate you on the occasion of the Constitution Day.
The referenda on the adoption and introduction of the amendments clearly showed the stance of the people of Armenia regarding the kind of country they want to live in. It was an uncontestable choice and respect toward and commitment to that choice is our sacred duty.
The Constitution reflects our determination to create a social, law-governed, and democratic state. Much has been done for bringing the Constitution to life; however, we should admit that much has not been fully realized yet. Today, through our steps and our resolve we must be able to give a new impetus to further democratization of the country. The Rights and Liberties of our citizens enshrined in our Constitution must enter every home and every office, every town and every village; they must become not only Constitutional norms but norms of life. We can do it because there is political will of the authorities and sincere desire of the vast majority of our people.

Dear Compatriots:

I once again extend my congratulations on this holiday and wish us all to have every opportunity to fully enjoy the wide spectrum of human rights and liberties which we have predetermined through our own choice.

French Prime Minister Francois Bayrou ousted after just nine months in office

Legislators toppled France’s government in a confidence vote on Monday 8 September, a new crisis for Europe’s second-largest economy that obliges President Emmanuel Macron to search for a fourth prime minister in 12 months. Prime Minister Francois Bayrou was ousted overwhelmingly in a 364-194 vote against him. Bayrou paid the price for what appeared to be a staggering political miscalculation, gambling that lawmakers would back his view that France must slash public spending to rein in its debts. Instead, they seized on the vote that Bayrou called to gang up against the 74-year-old centrist who was appointed by Macron last December.
