As for Head of the State, I had invited leaders of political parties in
the National Security Council calling on them to take measures on not
leading the demonstration and protests into a public disorder through
their members and supporters. Furthermore, I tasked the leadership of
law enforcement organs not letting to turn the demonstration into the
riot. Unfortunately, that demonstration turned into a riot. A real
threatening faced to result in a loss of five human lives and
destruction. The headquarters of the Mongolian People's Revolutionary
Party began to blaze. In this situation, I, as for President of
Mongolia, decreed to declare a state of emergency within my prerogative
rights on the basis of proposals by leadership from parliament,
government and law enforcement organizations in order to calm down and
stop the riot and save the lives of hundreds of people and establish
the state of social quietness. As a result of the decree, the public
disturbance was restricted in considerably short term saving the lives
of people, and quiet conditions were established in the society.
During the situation' worsening, unfortunately,
people died and private and public properties were destroyed shocking
the people. After the announcement of the state of emergency, the State
Great Khural (parliament) convened its extraordinary session according
to the law and adopted the President's decree on declaration of a state
of emergency pushing to create legal basis for setting up a
headquarters that worked during the extraordinary condition. The
headquarters took measures in accordance with the recommmendation
released at the meeting of the National Security Council. The state of
emergency will be abrogated soon. Now we have to think of why we
reached such a condition. Perhaps, we thought that Mongolia exists for
everybody, for authorities and for political parties. On one side, this
is true. But, after the abrogation of the state of emergency and after
this great massive shock, I have to share my opinions and views with
the people on how to go out from this situation. Mongolia exists not
for us but we exist for Mongolia. Political parties are existing for
Mongolia. The State Great Khural, the Government and the President--all
are serving for Mongolia.
Law enforcement organizations must work for Mongolia. Every citizen
must work for Mongolia. If we do understand it, in my opinion, we can
keep away distance from the riot, and any hot issues could be dealt
between us through the ways of peaceful consultations. If we do not do
it and if we would think that Mongolia exists for me, for the parties,
for the government, for the parliament and for citizens named like Dorj
or whoever, and if he or she forced own truth to others, we would
deepen this crisis further.
We are lacking an experience of working in the period of
the state of emergency. The legal environment in Mongolia has not been
refined good enough. Of course, we never declared the state of
emergency before. The state of emergency is not a thing to be declared
again. Mongolia, its people and political parties do not need this.
What is needed in Mongolia? It needs the national solidarity, a culture
able to solve urgent problems by ways of consultations and sensible
mind. We do not need any sharp stone to throw each other. Thinking of
all these issues, I heeded opinions of the political parties on passing
the current condition by inviting their delegates several times. The
political parties threw hard words to each other not hard stones at the
hot meetings. However, attendees of the meetings were more patient. I
am glad that they reached agreement to develop their homeland and to
solve this difficult case. Their gathering is a very big start;
however, they could not solve all problems.
Law violence and muddle have been intensified in our society. The
political parties have realized that our essential obligation is to
correct this situation. The state of emergency will be annulled very
soon. You have been appealed to become citizens who serve their
motherland but not those who have the state serve them. We could build
up a nice Mongolian country if we respect patiently our solidarity, put
our mind to the future development and create meritorious actions. In
any difficult situation, any country becomes stronger by learning a
lesson from it. The country weakens if it could not take any lessons
and lacks patience and intellectual range. We have no right to become
enfeebled. We are demanded to develop for the bright future.
I would like to appeal to our political parties, Parliament,
Government, people and to media to overcome the situation by restoring
our consciousness, becoming stronger and regulating our life with the
principle ''Mongolians are powerful when they have solidarity''. Let's
refine our society and stop destroying. Let's develop our society and
let's not be backward. If we reach this essential goal, every Mongolian
will win. If not, every Mongolian person will suffer losses. Let's
consolidate for developing every Mongolian and the state.
Finally, if the election results have been rigged, the
guilty ones will be hold liable. The guilty ones who organized the
public demonstration to the riot and killed innocent persons will be
held responsible. Any official who could not regulate the public
disorder will be called to account. Let's learn to form the justice in
all stages and to implement the laws in all stages. If we could do
this, we would be powerful. You have been requested not only to think
over all these issues, but provide their implementation.
