ArmInfo. Non-governmental organizations require from the Government
and the National Assembly to recall the bill on making amendments in
RA Law "On Non-Governmental organizations" and to hold a wide public
discussion of the submitted bill.

As Ecolur told rmInfo, more than 100 NGOs expressed their negative
attitude towards the bill according the Lists of CDPF, the Civil
Development and Partnership Foundation.

Parallel with the fund, other NGOs also started to collect signatures
against this bill. The boom of civil activity is explained as follows:
the public considers the new bill as a threat for development of a
civil society in Armenia, establishment of control over the civil
society on the part of officials, results in folding of democratic
processes in the country and their substitution with pseudo-democratic
processes, and finally, may bring to the return of neobolshevism.
