Today is Day of Proclamation of Mongolia
PoliticsUlaanbaatar /MONTSAME/. Today is the
96th anniversary of the adoption of the first Constitution of Mongolia,
proclaiming the Mongolian People’s Republic.
History says that the first State Great Khural was kicked
off on September 8, 1924 in Niislel Khuree (present Ulaanbaatar), with 77 representatives
from all across the country. During the Great Khural, the representatives discussed
many vital issues and unanimously adopted the first Constitution of Mongolia on
November 26, 1924. Historians say that
this historical event not only defined the goals of Mongolians but also stamped
it as an independent state.
With the adoption of the first Constitution, it not only
strengthened the many socioeconomic achievements, but also declared all of the
land, resources, forests, and animals under the ownership of citizens of
Mongolia.
The Day of Proclamation was made a public holiday in
accordance with the parliamentary resolution made on November 18, 2016.
