Platform Coordinator.

the public sector, noting that during the half year of membership to

cooperation with civil society in the EURONES PA. The speaker noted
that it was high time to affirm by document and new format the

supporting the process, responding to the proposals. To him, the
signed Memorandum would promote both the consolidation of society
and solidarity, and would result in new ideas. He noted that the
Memorandum of Understanding was the property of the whole society,
and it was open for everybody who wanted it.

of the parties are fixed in the Memorandum. - five goals are mentioned:
reduction of corruption in public administration system, straggle
against civil freedoms and restrictions of rights, awareness of
obligations assumed by the Republic of Armenia towards the European
Union, dissemination of European values, as well as elaboration of
legislation stemming from the treaties signed or to be signed between
the RA and the EU.

preconditions for achieving the mentioned goals. He stressed that
