    Interagency committee established to discuss and develop "Bill
    on Yerevan" has finished the discussions and submitted the bill
    to respective structures for "a grounded opinion." Vache Terteryan,
    deputy minister of territorial administration, told a press conference
    today that they have submitted the "Bill on Yerevan" to the Council
    of Europe (CoE) as well for expert opinion.

    In the words of the deputy minister, the bill stipulates that Yerevan
    mayor will be elected in indirect elections, i.e., the elders of the
    city must elect a mayor from among themselves. Another provision
    dictates that village like areas and small neighborhoods within
    the city will be excluded from Yerevan. "There will be no reduction
    in communities.

    We have rural communities within Yerevan which will be modified and
    excluded from Yerevan," Vache Terteryan said. In his words, soon
    the bill will be submitted for public discussions and only then will
    enjoy the approval of the government.
