Memorandum of mutual understanding between RA government and OSCE
Yerevan Office on creation of OSCE offices in the country’s regions.

the Memorandum was signed on September 15, 1999, based on which an
additional protocol was signed on June 5, 2006, according to which
OSCE Yerevan Office, in cooperation and consent with RA government,
cannot found its offices in the republic’s territory for implementation
of various programmes. G. Gharibjanyan exampled the work of OSCE Office
in RA Syunik region, where OSCE office was opened for implementation of
the programme of assistance to the local farmers. Such initiative is
