/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Three-day conference on "Cultural policy-Policy
for Culture" was launched today in Yerevan.
Conference objective is to develop innovative concepts and approaches
in the sphere of planning and creating a flexible strategic
inftra-structure for cultural policy, as well as implement relevant
programs aimed at achieving sustainable development and mutual
understanding.
It is planned to hold plenary sessions on "Cultural Policy in Changing
World" and "Choice of Cultural Policy", as well as discussion panels
on "Cultural Heritage as the Product of Cultural Diversity and Shared
Value" and "Living in Political-Cultural World: Getting Accustomed
to Diversity and Participating in Dialogue". Within conference
frameworks, it is also planned to organize round tables devoted to
"Cultural Rights, Constitutional Guarantees and Legislation in the
Sphere of Culture" and "Supporting culture: Economic and/or cultural
Effectiveness".
During the opening ceremony, Minister of Culture Hasmik Poghosyan
introduced to participants MP Tigran Sargsyan's welcoming address
which particularly says, "I welcome all participants of regional
conference which is devoted to a very important problem - cultural
policy. The state's role in determining the goals and priorities
of cultural policy depends on the general conceptual determination
of the sphere of culture and cultural policy. That's why we attach
special importance to the conference which should have a primary task
to determine new priorities tailored to present-day demands."
Deputy Foreign Minister Shavarsh Kocharyan noted in turn that "Peoples
on post-Soviet area have very much in common in terms of their cultural
heritage. But similarity of our political and economic problems pushes
CIS states to search new mechanisms and new profiles in the sphere
of political culture."
Conference will bring together representatives from international
organizations (UNESCO, Council of Europe and CIS), national
governmental organizations and scientific and expert associations.
