The importance of developing political institutional mechanisms through the introduction of the new system has been emphasized.
Summarizing the discussions, the Prime Minister emphasized that the aim of the system's implementation is to enable citizens to support their preferred social, media, or political entities, as well as to ensure transparency in funding. Nikol Pashinyan has instructed to finalize the draft based on the observations presented during the discussion.
