Today is Constitution Day in Ukraine. With the Heller decision, it feels like Constitution Day here in the US, too. Happy Birthday, Ukraine! (Also happens to be mine today.)
Tymoshenko expressed the hope that Constitution Day will be a day of unity and reconciliation.
“I want June 28 to feel like a real holiday to us. We need such dates for the unity of the country, for realization of our Ukrainian identity, for reconciliation in the society,” the message states.
Yuschenko also called on Ukrainians to remember that Ukraine’s long constitutional tradition date back to the Pylyp Orlyk constitution of the year 1710.
As Ukrainian News earlier reported, Ukraine will mark Constitution Day on June 28.
