Ulaanbaatar/MONTSAME/ On occasion of the 26th anniversary of the adoption of democratic Constitution of Mongolia, the Speaker of Mongolian Parliament M.Enkhbold and members of Parliament paid tribute to the Monument of Chinggis Khaan, alongside laying wreath at the Statue of D.Sukhbaatar on January 13.
 
Members of Citizens’ Representatives Meeting of Ulaanbaatar city and members of then-People’s Ikh Khural who contributed to adopt new democratic Constitution were present at the ceremony.
 
D.Purevdorj, former member of the People’s Ikh Khural, said: “Mongolia adopted its Constitution in 1924, 1940, 1960 and 1992. The 1992 Constitution was so distinctive because it was adopted during Mongolia’s transitional period from socialism into democracy.”
 
The Constitution of Mongolia was adopted on January 13, 1992, put into force on February 12, and amended in 1999 and 2001. The new constitution established a representative democracy in Mongolia, guaranteeing freedom, religion, rights, travel, expression, unalienable rights, government setup, election cycle, and other matters. It consists of a preamble followed by six chapters divided into 70 articles.
