The main problem of the youth in the regions is the creation of employment. The young activists of Vayots Dzor and Syunik regions who gathered in Yerevan again spoke about it. The event was organized under the title “23 years of active citizenship” with the support of Oxfam office in Armenia and “Against legal anarchy” NGO. Against legal anarchy Vayk civil center lawyer Mariam Mkrtchyan noted that the region’s Herher community’s main problem is road condition, which was partially solved as a result of activists’ fight. Sometimes young people of the community have problems in harvest sales. “We support so that young people can protect their rights,”- noted Mariam Mkrtchyan. “Against legal anarchy” NGO executive director Larisa Alaverdyan reminds that international experience showed that until communities aren’t developed, and civil society hasn’t become our routine, we won’t have developed state. “We must change our mindset, and that time I am sure that migration will be reduced, as it isn’t possible to count only on state government, village or city head,”- summed up Mrs. Alaverdyan.
