«Our political goal is to build a democratic and law-based state. Here, the Constitution of the Republic of Tajikistan, as the supreme document of the nation and a stable pillar of peace and unity, will be our eternal guide», said the honorable President of our country, Emomali Rahmon.
One of the great achievements of the period of independence of the Republic of Tajikistan is the adoption of the Constitution of the Republic of Tajikistan, which took place in 1994.
Now, in the Constitution as well as changes in society, there have been radical changes. Of course, the reason for this great historical event was the need of the times, the progress of society and the independence of our dear country Tajikistan.
Thanks to the adoption of the Constitution of Tajikistan as a full-fledged subject of international relations, the people of Tajikistan were recognized as a constructive, peace-loving and cultured people. This sacred and fateful document, like a burning lamp, will illuminate the way of development of the independent state of Tajiks and its people for centuries.
Thanks to the 16th Session of the Supreme Council of the Republic of Tajikistan, preparation and adoption of the Constitution of the new era took place. As a result, on November 6, 1994, this constitution was accepted by the majority of people through a national referendum, and this historical day was established as the day of the Constitution in Tajikistan.
The Constitution of the Republic of Tajikistan consists of a preamble, 10 chapters and not 100 articles. The Constitution is the most important and reliable document of the destiny of every nation.
The Constitution was able to express the interests of the Tajik people, reflect the interests of the workers, and represent Tajiks on the world stage. The Constitution played an important role in achieving peace, harmony and complete unity of the Tajiks. This fateful document was named by international experts among the five best and most popular Constitutions of the member states of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe.
In conclusion, it is a matter of pride that the Constitution of the country became the support and guide of the Tajik people. The duty of every citizen of the republic is to respect the Constitution.
Of course, the role of the President of the country, Emomali Rahmon, is extremely important in the development and preparation of the Constitution of the period of independence of Tajikistan. So, the Constitution of the Republic of Tajikistan turns 29 years old, and people proudly celebrate November 6 as the day of adoption of the Constitution of the Republic of Tajikistan every year.
As the honorable leader of the nation, Emomali Rahmon, emphasized: “Our constitution is like a guiding light that guides the society to a good future. It is the axis that unites all the creative forces of the country in the spirit of respect for the law.”
