Head of State stressed that the outcome of the reforms, branches will have their separate powers and work independently. In this regard, each branch should feel responsible. "We are to decide the fate of this important for our future document. We must now take stock and decide what to do next, and to determine when to submit the document to the Parliament. 23 articles of the Constitution will be amended. Also - 35 laws.
