Deputy Chairperson of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine Oksana Syroyid said this within the framework of the TV show dedicated to the 20th anniversary of the Constitution of Ukraine on the Rada TV Channel.
Oksana Syroyid noted that the need to protect the Constitution brought her into the Ukrainian Parliament in far 1996.
She expressed confidence that currently Ukraine is facing numerous attempts to be occupied through the amendments to the Basic Law. She said that the draft law on amendments to the Ukrainian Constitution envisioning special status for the occupied territories is a legal mechanism of occupation she is seriously concerned over.
The Deputy Chairperson of the Ukrainian Parliament also said: "Every Ukrainian must feel themselves real owners of the Constitution, as the Basic Law is not an asset of Ukrainian Presidents or Parliament, it is owned by each of us — every person living in Ukraine."
Oksana Syroyid once again stressed that the constitutional process in Ukraine must be transparent, legal and all the people must be let understand the whole importance of that Document.
