	\|contents=The 1990 Declaration of Independence of Armenia guaranteed freedom of conscience. The 1995 Constitution of Armenia contains a more detailed assertion of freedom of religion, ~~emphasizing both separation to church~~ and ~~state and free expression~~. The ~~ways that this right could~~ be restricted ~~were described~~ in Article 26: "~~Expression~~ of ~~this~~ right ~~can be restricted only by law~~, ~~if it is necessary for public security~~, ~~health~~, ~~morals or for~~ the protection of ~~rights~~ and ~~freedoms~~ of ~~others." However,~~ the Constitution ~~cited the distinctive role of the Armenian Apostolic Holy Church:~~ "~~The Republic of Armenia~~ recognizes the exclusive mission of the Armenian Apostolic Holy Church as a national church, in the ~~spiritual life, development~~ of ~~the national culture~~ and ~~preservation~~ of the ~~national identity of~~ the ~~people~~ of Armenia."		\|contents=The 1990 Declaration of Independence of Armenia guaranteed freedom of conscience. The 1995 Constitution of Armenia contains a more detailed assertion of freedom of religion in Article 23: "Everyone is entitled to freedom of thought, conscience, and religion. The freedom to exercise one's religion and beliefs may only be restricted by law on the grounds prescribed in Article 45 of the Constitution. Amendment of the 1995 Armenia Constitution in 2005 resulted in still more specific articulation of the right: "Everyone shall have the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion. This right includes freedom to change the religion or belief and freedom to, either alone or in community with others manifest the religion or belief, through preaching, church ceremonies and other religious rites." In addition to this articulation of the protection of belief and protection, Article 8.1 of the Armenia Constitution as amended in 2005 "recognizes the exclusive historical mission of the Armenian Apostolic Holy Church as a national church", but also asserts the separation of church and state in Armenia. The same article also guarantees that: "Freedom of activities for all religious organizations in accordance with the law shall be guaranteed in the Republic of Armenia".
