ArmInfo. In the near future, when a new program for the consolidation of communities will be presented, we plan to introduce a proportional electoral system. The Minister of Territorial Administration and Development of the Republic of Armenia Suren Papikyan stated this during a press conference on March 20.
To ensure the integrity of this system and the correct approach, he said, emphasis should not be placed only on party affiliation. In this vein, the minister stressed that in the regions, unfortunately, there are not enough political forces that have taken place, and to involve civil initiatives, political and public circles in the Councils of Elders and community management, it is necessary to create appropriate opportunities and a platform. Stressing that each community should have an idea of its further development, Papikyan noted that, unfortunately, there are few such communities in Armenia.
"This is precisely the reason that we are trying to betray the new quality of community management," he concluded.
