An extraordinary session of the Public Council under the Justice Minister took place on 21 May. The RA Minister of Justice Artak Zeynalyan invited to discuss the issue of inclusion of the proposals submitted by non-governmental organizations in the new Government program.
Justice Minister Zeynalyan welcomed the participants of the meeting and noted that the Ministry of Justice expects proposals from the Council’s members to be discussed and incorporated into a new government program.
The Minister informed that the new program of the government will be directed to 2018-2022 and clarified that there is no legal possibility, although it is envisaged to carry out snap parliamentary elections as soon as possible so that the actual structure of the legislative body is clear and the executive power expresses the will of the people.
