Alternative council of elders against embarrassment
"We have people who haven't been attending the sessions of the council of elders for three years. It is embarrassing. It's time to tell those people that if they were elected, then they have to show up to the sessions. The municipality tells us to find at least 8 people and hold a session in order to ensure a quorum. The council of elders has to work. The city faces serious issues that need to be addressed," says member of the "The City is Ours" initiative in Gyumri, Levon Barseghyan.
The movement called "The City is Ours" in Gyumri is preparing to present a list of candidates for the council of elders in the elections for local self-government bodies, which will include people who are more than accepted by the people.
