ArmInfo. The decisions of the Public Council have no legal force, our task is to interest the government in a particular proposal. Chairman of the Public Council of Armenia Styopa Safaryan announced this on January 13 in an interview with ArmInfo correspondent.
He noted that now the possibility of involving representatives of the business sector in the Public Council is being discussed so that all interesting initiatives are presented to the Armenian government. "It seems to me that we should do everything possible so that all interesting and promising programs in all areas are presented to our government, and for this, as you understand, it is necessary to involve people who are representatives of a particular sector in the Public Council," Safaryan stressed.
During the press conference, the head of the Public Council said that in the New Year, the structure headed by him faces a number of tasks that need to be implemented. In particular, he noted that there is a need to recruit new people to the Public Council. "At the moment, we have a lot of empty seats in the Public Council, and we would like to attract new staff to our activities. There are also discussions regarding the structure of the Public Council, and what kind of staff should be involved for the most effective work of the structure," he said.
He also noted that the dates of the meeting of the Public Council should be planned and fixed in advance. "Earlier, the dates were not fixed, and I consider this an omission. Moreover, I also believe that it is necessary to abandon the previous practice when the meeting went on for 2-3 hours and during the last we did not have time to discuss all the issues on the agenda. I would really like so that the Public Council fulfills its true function, which is to interest the government in really important and interesting initiatives for our country, "Safaryan emphasized.
