YEREVAN, MAY 6, ARMENPRESS: Civil Service Council of Armenia proposes
to conduct serious discussions on the issue of putting forward their
candidates in the office of civil servant by coalition parties.

At today’s session of the Armenian government Manvel Badalyan, chairman
of the council, noted that it is internationally accepted that the
main principle of the civil service is the political neutrality. In
many countries the membership of state servants with parties is
prohibited even by law.

According to him, during service examinations implemented among civil
servants, some officials refuse to cooperate and avoid displaying
their participation.

"It is distinctly defined by law that officials must give explanations,
too, and they must act corresponding to the law.

Officials are not for ignoring the law and regulations," M. Badalyan
said.

"I am sure that Manvel Badalyan will be on his height, and will not
allow interferences, and violations of the law. The Civil Service
Council has got our support," Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan said.
