Former Deputy Minister of Defense Artak Zakaryan writes:
"When your enemy sees that you do not respect your Constitution.
a) when you arbitrarily interpret and apply its definitions,
b) when you regularly limit various rights and freedoms of the political opposition and citizens with opposition views,
c) when you put your party-ruling interests above state-national interests,
d) when you do not respect the constitutional status of your church,
e) when you deprive a part of your citizens of the electoral right established by the constitution,
f) when you try to control and serve your mercantile interests at any cost,
g) when you turn the difference of political views into personal enmity, and as a result, manipulating the name of the people and using the security forces, you accumulate political prisoners,
h) when the elected heads of the local governments, guaranteed by the constitution, either sit down or become henchmen of the authorities,
i) when foreign policy, instead of building beneficial relations for the country and the people, is aligned with the current interests of one person and his political leaders,
j) when the basic rights and freedoms of a person and a citizen receive different manifestations in different situations...
Then that same enemy of yours, as well as various other countries, due to their own interests, poke their noses into the internal affairs of your country, forcing to change the constitution and hold various referendums, transformations of national goals, even to revise the agga stereotypes and value system.
Let's respect ourselves, our national dignity, our national interests, our national solidarity and the mother law of independent statehood dreamed of for centuries, the Constitution."
