Constitutional reform has become a community project in Ukraine, rather than a matter for a narrow circle of politicians, President Viktor Yanukovych has said.

"I'm confident that such [consolidated] decisions will have profound implications for the whole of society, therefore constitutional reform is turning from a cause for a narrow circle of politicians into a common project of the Ukrainian community. I see here the importance of the creation of the Constitutional Assembly," he said on the occasion of the Day of Unity and Liberty of Ukraine at Ukraina Palace in Kyiv on Tuesday.

At the same time, Yanukovych called on every Ukrainian to "put aside political disputes and direct efforts to find a common vision of the prospects for Ukraine, as these reforms and the renewal of the country are being done in order to improve the lives of the people."
