Constitution Day of the Kyrgyz Republic

Constitution Day of the Kyrgyz Republic marks the adoption of independent Kyrgyzstan's first constitution in 1993. It highlights the country's constitutional foundations and the rights and freedoms of its citizens.

How it is celebrated: official events, exhibitions and educational gatherings explore the country's history. Schools and universities discuss what a constitution does and how its principles connect with everyday life.

The constitution commemorated by this holiday was adopted by parliament, rather than through a nationwide referendum. That parliamentary decision established the anniversary.
