17:08, 11 October, 2013
YEREVAN, OCTOBER 11, ARMENPRESS. The International Conference of
capital cities of the Council of Europe member states launched its
activity in Yerevan. This year's conference is dedicated to the issue
of challenges the capitals have to face with and the activity of
public authorities.
The Yerevan Mayor Taron Margaryan welcomed the guests and laid a heavy
emphasis on the importance of holding the conference in Yerevan. As
reports "Armenpress" among other things the Yerevan Mayor Taron
Margaryan stated: "This is the first time Armenia hosts this
pan-European initiative after joining the Council of Europe. It's of a
certain importance for us that local democracy is among the priorities
of the Armenian Chairmanship, which served as a basis for us to
initiate this conference dedicated to the issues our capital has to
face with. Each year the cities' authorities have to face with new
challenges due to the ongoing developments in the world. That's why
the authorities must be flexible. I am hopeful we shall find solution
of a row of issues at the course of this conference."

Armenia to participate in "Erebuni-Yerevan 2795" celebrations and

particular role of capital cities and metropolises in the overall
