    Director of Civic Development and Partnership Foundation David Chityan
    said that it is difficult in Armenia to maintain statistics on
    volunteers among Armenia's citizens, at the Armenian legislation does
    provide for signing agreements with volunteers.

    The Armenian NGOs offered a range of amendments to the RA Law on
    Public Organizations, including with respect to this matter. However,
    the bill has not been submitted to the parliament yet, Chityan told a
    press conference in Yerevan.

    According to him, Civil Society Day marked on September 19 in Armenia
    will be dedicated to volunteerism. An event aimed at disseminating the
    idea of volunteerism will be held in Lovers' Park of Yerevan. Besides,
    an exhibition of volunteers' works, solemn march of volunteers and
    competition on the best slogan of a volunteer will be organized to
    mark the day.

    `Around 16 organizations will present their works implemented through
    the assistance of volunteers,' said David Chityan.

    Peace Corps Armenia Programming and Training Officer Nicholas Bruno
    told journalists that 92 Peace Corps volunteers currently serve in
    Armenia.

    According to him, volunteers' work in July-August in various regions
    of Armenia will be presented as part of Civil Society Day celebration.
    The project was implemented at the initiative of Peace Corps
    headquarter in Washington through the financial assistance of USAID.
    Initiative groups were created jointly with five NGOs in 30
    communities of the country to be trained in organization of
    volunteers' work.
