The 5th International Treaty Conference of the cities combating
poverty began its work in the Italian city Valencia, in which the
member cities of the Treaty, their partner cities and associations, the
members of Parliaments, Governments, businessmen and other officials
participated. The Mayor of Vardenis Vardan Barseghian and the Vice -
Mayor of Aparan Gevorg Eremian were among the Armenian representatives.
The conference is aimed at working out the activity strategy of the
City Halls on poverty combat relying on the experience of the City
halls acquired within 1997 - 2007, the decade of poverty combat
international level.
The NA Chairman Arthur Bagdasarian made a speech during the opening
ceremony of the Conference, "The poverty combat can not be limited
with only material and financial support. The violation of human
rights and bad management stimulate the increase of poverty."
By the way, four Armenian cities are already the members of the
"International Treaty of the cities combating poverty." This is a
possibility of making ties with other cities, of cooperation and
information interchange with them. It also gives a chance to expand
the cooperation and to provide availability of assistance by different
actors in various spheres of development.
The highlight of the day for Armenia is the membership of Gyumri,
Aparan and Vardenis alongside with the cities of foreign countries in
the International Treaty Conference of the cities combating poverty
which will give an opportunity of realizing development programs in
those cities.
