/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Armenia’s public sector has certain tasks to fulfill,
according to Hovhannes Hovhannisyan, Head of Public Council’s committee
dealing with civil society issues. Justice Ministry-proposed amendments
to RA law "On Public Organizations" may prevent NGOs from becoming
accomplished bodies, he told today a news conference.

At that, he noted that the clause envisaging media publications of
NGOs’ financial reports (1000 copies) may pave way for bureaucracy,
"resulting in the termination of many NGOs’ activities." In that
regard, Hovhannisyan stressed the role of providing state support to
public organizations.
