Myanmar's Military Promises to Abide by and Protect Constitution

VOA News

   Myanmar's military said Saturday it will abide by and protect the
   country's constitution.

   The statement came after United Nations Secretary-General Antonio
   Guterres and Western embassies in Myanmar expressed alarm Friday over
   possible a possible army coup.

   The army's powerful commander-in-chief, Senior General Min Aung Hlaing,
   said early this week that repealing the 2008 constitution could be
   "necessary" under certain circumstances.
