    KOCHARIAN CONFERS WITH INTELLECTUALS

    YEREVAN, APRIL 2, ARMENPRESS: Armenian president Robert Kocharian
    conferred today with members of an initiative group of intellectuals
    who had asked him in a letter to set up a presidential commission,
    composed of volunteers, to study the current problems of spiritual
    and cultural life, develop proposals for their solutions and present
    them to the authorized bodies.
    The intellectuals praised the government's policy aimed at
    reviving the cultural life saying positive changes in this area are
    obvious with a succession of cultural events, reconstruction of
    cultural establishments and publication of books.
    The president emphasized in turn that the cultural policy must be
    extended from the capital to regions, adding that an extensive
    project was developed to rehabilitate regional cultural
    establishments.
    Intellectuals said that concurrently with positive shifts there
    are serious concerns over the intervention of low-quality artistic
    values and overlooking of younger generation's upbringing.
    Sharing their concerns president Kocharian proposed first an
    in-depth look into all relevant problems and search for mechanisms
    for effective operation of the commission.
