On November 4 of this year in the diagnostic and treatment center of the SEI “Avicenna Tajik State Medical University” was held a seminar-consultation on Constitution of the Republic of Tajikistan. At the seminar the therapist Toshmatova O.R. expressed her opinion about the meaning, role, content and history of the Constitution of Tajikistan, among other things she said: "The Constitution of the Republic of Tajikistan is considered to be the second highest legal document in the scale of the member states of the Union of Independent States, which was adopted by popular referendum. At the same time, the Constitution of the Republic of Tajikistan was highly appreciated by experts and influential international organizations, political scientists of the Russian Federation, the United States of America and several European countries, and was recognized as one of the five best constitutions of the member states of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe.

Also director of the center, associate professor Z. M. Nurzoda expressed the need to improve the Constitution and other legislative acts in Tajikistan and noted that the Constitution was amended three times - September 26, 1999, June 22, 2003 and May 22, 2016 by referendum. Amendments and additions made to the Constitution in accordance with the General Agreement on Establishing Peace and National Accord became an important instrument of consensus, harmony, unity and stability in society. Based on the amendments made in 1999, for the first time in the country a bicameral professional parliament was established - Majlisi Milli and Majlisi Namoyandagon.

"The need for subsequent amendments and additions was primarily related to the regulation of political, social and economic development and the strengthening of guarantees of human and civil rights and freedoms. The improvement of the Constitution enabled further consolidation of the achievements of independence, strengthening the foundations of statehood, unity and stability of society, building civil society, economic, social, political and cultural development, increasing the authority and influence of Tajikistan in the international arena," he said.
