visited `Armenpress' news agency and Central Bank.
They also participated in interactive
workshop-meetings and had an opportunity to exchange
ideas with each other.

framework of `Youth and Community Action Program'
(`YCAP') which kicked off in September 2004 and is

acquaintances. One of them said that though the issues
of their communities are different, similarities
exist, and this program, according to him, gives
opportunity to unite and solve the issues by joint
efforts.
