U.S. Ambassador John Heffern heaped praise on growing civic activism in Armenia on Tuesday, saying that the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) believes it is now more effective than in virtually all other parts of the former Soviet Union.
"According to a recent USAID assessment, civil society in Armenia is the second strongest anywhere among the republics of the former Soviet Union," Heffern said in his latest video blog entry posted on the Internet. "We have recently seen several effective grassroots campaigns here of Armenians promoting positive change."
"Armenia's civil society is growing and … getting stronger and more effective every day," he added, sitting in Yerevan's Mashtots Park.
