    YEREVAN. - On January 18, fifteen Armenia-based NGOs petitioned to UN
    Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and expressed their concern by the plan
    to relocate the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) European
    Regional Centre from Bratislava to Istanbul, Aravot daily reports.

    "Aravot asked 'For Sustainable Human Development' Association
    Chairwoman Karine Danielyan as to how this relocation would obstruct
    the activities of Armenia's NGOs.

    'It will obstruct a lot because we need to coordinate all the steps
    of our office with the regional office, [and] subsequently, with the
    central office. If the regional office were to be in a country like
    Turkey, its impact would be huge. It is not a coincidence that Turkey
    has gotten active [only] now. The 100th anniversary of the [Armenian]
    Genocide is drawing near and we will work with the UN on numerous
    [relevant] matters. And it turns out that we will be working with
    Turkey [on this matter],' Karine Danielyan noted," Aravot writes.
