THE AMERICAN HAD COME TO LISTEN AND NOT TO SPEAK
On the initiative of the company «PA Consulting» today in Hotel Yerevan the
journalists met Peter Bradford, who has long worked in New York as head of
the Committee regulating public services. Before coming to Armenia he has
been to Georgia, Azerbaijan, Ukraine and Russia for consultation purposes.
In Ukraine he worked before the revolution and he does not know what changes
there have been in connection with transparency and liberalism.
As for Georgia, Peter Bradford has been there a year after the revolution,
when the situation was very much tense. And here too he was unlucky, as he
does not know what changes there have occurred during this year.
Today he wanted to learn from the journalists of they have met obstacles
while trying to get information from the Armenian Committee. The expert did
not hear complaint from the journalists but he himself complained that
during the two months that he has been here he has demanded information
which wasn't given to him.
The guest of `PA Consulting' tried to console the journalists saying that
the USA has 50 states and not all of them follow all the principles of
democracy and transparency. He also said that while being head of the
Committee in New York he was much helped by the aggressive questions and
announcements of the journalists.
