    Y EREVAN, MAY 30, NOYAN TAPAN. "The idea of creation of a Public Council
    or a Public Chamber was also included in the RA National Security
    Strategy, and today there is no need to connect it with the current
    home political situation in Armenia," Garnik Isagulian, the Adviser to
    the RA President, the Chairman of the National Security party, stated
    at the May 30 press conference.

    According to him, the Internal Threats department of the National
    Security Concept clearly formulated that public-authorities,
    public-state structures, local self-government bodies-public direct
    contact needs to be created, as there is rather a serious barrier
    between society and state institutions. "Irrespective of the fact what
    kind of home political situation we will have, the issue of creation of
    a Public Council was to be raised all the same," G. Isagulian said
    adding that the domestic situation also dictated that the political,
    public forces, individual figures having no other tribune should be
    rather included in the Public Chamber. According to him, these are
    mainly extra-parliamentary parties with opposition views.

    G. Isagulian said that they have officially applied to 23 parties
    taking part in the last parliamentry elections and not overcoming 5%
    barrier for being included in the Public Council. They have also
    applied to offices of former RA presidential candidates, 17 NGOs. It
    was also mentioned that in total, 359 proposals were received by NGOs
    and political organizations in a two-week term.

    According to G. Isagulian, the Public Council will be a parliamentary
    body, which is authorized to express its opinion on any bill. "Any
    bill, as well as the RA President's decrees will become a subject of
    discussion at the Public Council. And Council's viewpoints will be
    presented publicly," the RA President's Adviser said.
