Heads of SNCOs of Armenia will be selected on a competitive basis

ArmInfo. Heads of state non-profit organizations of Armenia to be selected on a competition basis. The RA National Assembly at its planar session on September 17  in the first reading discusses the amendments to the law "On State  Non-Commercial Organizations".

Presenting the draft amendments, their co-author, MP Varazdat  Karapetyan noted that, in addition to higher education, the draft law  envisages introducing a minimum two-year work experience of a  candidate for participation in the competition. In addition, the  applicant must have his own vision of the development of the SNCO.  The competition will be held in two stages - written and oral. During  the oral interview, he must present these visions to the competition  committee. The author of the bill pointed out the inadmissibility of  using predefined tests. The procedure and conditions for holding  competitions should be determined by the RA government.
