YEREVAN, MAY 22, NOYAN TAPAN. "The National Press Club (NPC) founded in
1997 was created "a year after the questionable presidential elections,
when the public, political life had become drowsy and showed no signs
of awakening."
Summing up NPC's 10-year activity at the May 22 press conference,
Club Chairwoman Narine Mkrtchian said that by founding the club they
tried to show that they believe in viability of country's democracy and
national values. In N. Mkrtchian's words, during 10 years, in total,
more than 350 meetings have been organized in NPC with political,
public and cultural figures.
Touching upon NPC's 10-year activity, Noyan Tapan's Director, member of
NPC Board Tigran Haroutiunian said that NPC failed to implement some
planned programs due to a number of objective reasons. Nevertheless,
in his words, even if NPC did nothing, only meetings organized with
officials were a step forward, as to receive information from some
politicians was rather a great problem in that period. "We broke
that silence and formed an atmosphere when an official could come
and answer journalists' questions," T. Haroutiunian said.
