Armenia to introduce Public Service Day

ArmInfo.  Armenia will have a new holiday – Public Service Day. It will be celebrated on  June 23 and will be a working day. At its meeting on August 20, the  RA government approved amendments to the Law "On Holidays and  Commemorative Days."

It should be noted that on December 20, 2002, the UN General  Assembly, by resolution 57/277, designated June 23 as Public Service  Day. According to paragraph 3 of this resolution, the UN calls on  Member States to organize special events on this day to highlight the  contribution of public  service to national development. The adoption  of the bill is intended to evaluate, encourage and strengthen the  role of public servants in the sustainable development of the  country, the effective provision of public services, the introduction  of innovative approaches and the implementation of  unified state  policies.
