“Seminars organized in such form are rather rare. A seminar where we journalists can provide the information gained during our work practice to you from the SME sphere and the business sphere in general; to get feedback from the lawyers and the law sphere as well as to get the issues you raised, which naturally do not reach to any state structure, or in case if the reach there is no due response,” Anna Baghdasaryan, Head of Economic Journalists’ Club said at the seminar.
“It is very important that this event will provide an opportunity to the representatives of the small and medium businesses to raise the problems of the sphere, as well as to learn about the existing governmental assistance programs, including assistance to legislative reforms, legal and financial support, because only through the joining all these efforts it will be possible to achieve success,’ Karen Zadoyan, President of the Armenian Young Lawyers Association said.
