The Constitution is a Symbol of Statehood

The thirty-two years that have passed since the adoption of the Constitution of Turkmenistan is a short period by historical standards. However, the reforms carried out over these years constituted a huge era in the life of our society and state. The Constitution clearly defines the democratic and legal priorities of Turkmenistan, the legal foundation of social harmony and social and legal stability. The Basic Law also provides a legal guarantee of equal international cooperation. The Constitution is also one of the key symbols of the state and legal identity of our country. The Basic Law of the country concentrates the entire system of fundamental values of civil society and predetermines their reliable protection on the basis of guaranteeing the rule of law. The national legal system, consistently improved on the basis of the Constitution, in combination with sustainable socioeconomic growth, forms the constitutional culture of society.
