By the instruction of the Republic’s President and the Prime
Minister’s decree, with the aim of developing the NKR draft law "On
Local Self Governing in Stepanakert City", on June 16, the recently
founded working group convoked its first sitting. Issues connected
with development of the draft law on the capital, were discussed,
opinions and proposals were heard.

According to the working group manager, the NKR Minister of Justice
N.Narimanyan’s words the NKR law "On Local Self Governing" currently
in force does not completely correspond to real state that stipulates
the necessity of a draft law development. "It is both the demand
of the Constitution: according to Article 104 of the principle law
territorial governing peculiarities in Stepanakert City are defined by
the law", N.Narimanyan noted. In the result of the expanded discussion
Gegham Khachatryan, Chief of Territorial Administration Division of
Territorial Administration and Local Self Governing Department adjunct
to the NKR Government Staff, was charged with a task to submit the
preliminary variant of the draft law "On Local Self Governing in
Stepanakert" to the discussion of the working group in a month’s term.
