Yesterday President Serzh Sargsyan invited a group of prominent intellectuals and public figures to the presidential residence for a discussion on formation of Public Chamber. “I have to admit that I have some, not big, inspiration because after my instruction, my aides reported that it brought about numerous reactions, even draft regulations were proposed, even candidates were offered, but I think we do not need a rush here. I think you are able to exercise your authority so that to keep this process of Public Chamber formation away from being a formal process. This is important. I ask you, please exploit your authority, your knowledge and prompt me how we should form the Public Chamber so that not to make it a routine process, so that not to make it look like a government structure, so that it becomes a forum for frank discussions, so that it gives birth to ideas, so that it becomes an extra channel for us to have a clear picture of the situation and take measures. This is the point of my meeting with you,” said Sargsyan.
