Eight public organizations have come up with an initiation to form
an association, Susanna Grigoryan, chairperson of "Armenian League
of Culture," told reporters today.

In her words, the main aim is to unite several organizations working
separately. The association also aims to tackle educational problems
and create an exemplary model of democracy with improvements in
cooperation between the state and the society. "The society can hardly
make its voice heard separately.

Because of that we want to unite and create an equal and counter
effect force with the state," Grigoryan mentioned.

"The educational reforms in our country are of cosmetic
nature. Everyone speaks about the educational reforms but the drawbacks
in the field are many and they are evident during the exam period,"
she said.

She believes the cosmetic reforms are a wrong way to correct the
mistakes in the system.
