    ArmInfo. The Armenian authorities will have to reckon with the Public
    Council as the latter's creation is conditioned by restoration of
    public confidence in the authorities, Stepan Safaryan, the secretary of
    the parliamentary faction of the oppositional Heritage Party, told
    ArmInfo correspondent, Saturday.

    "I am convinced that the republic's authorities simply have no other
    way out as they think that in conditions of social and political
    tension the creation of the Public Council is the shock-absorber which
    should dampen the tension", he stressed. At the same time, he stressed
    that public organizations may play a great role in formation of the
    forthcoming dialogue between the society and the authorities, and the
    public organizations are the only interlayer between people and the
    authorities. He expressed confidence that a number of Armenian NGOs
    enjoy public confidence, this is not a small achievement which should
    become an additional factor in the process of establishment of
    atmosphere of mutual understanding between the authorities and society
    of Armenia, Safaryan said in conclusion.

    The Public Council is being set up as an advisory body on the basis of
    RA president's decree dated June 13. A commission has been set up to
    coordinate the Public Council's formation. The commission includes
    politicians and public figures, artists, scientists and sportsmen. The
    Council will finally be formed before September 2008, it will consider
    issues of state importance, analyze laws and acts, as well as the
    president's decrees.
