The Yerevan City Hall has launched numerous reforms to enhance the
community governance system and promote the development of a decision
making culture, the Yerevan mayor said in his Facebook page on Friday.
"As feedback is very important for us, we use all possible channels to
obtain information. We often encounter disrespectful, non-constructive
and boring rumors. I assure you that our team is not stupid so there's
no need to engage in 'mental trainings'," Karen Karapetyan said.
The mayor asked the subscribers using false profiles and dirty images
not to post all kinds of stuff on his wall as such messages will
be deleted. He noted further that such move does not imply a lack
of democracy.
Referring to the messages posted on his wall by subscribers using
false profiles, the mayor said such messages will be deleted and
added that such move does not imply a lack of democracy.
"If there's something to say, we are always open and willing to listen
to all kinds of constructive proposals," he said. "I am sure that
the users of my page cannot remember any case when our team gave a
disrespectful answer, though there was sometimes a desire to do so,
to be frank."
The mayor said he finds municipality staff to be very educated and
professional, and said many people of the current team have quit
well-paid jobs to work there.
"I would kindly as you to believe and imaging that its really true
and try to encourage them," he added.
