The territory of RA is divided into ten regions and the city of Yerevan, which is governed by the law “On Local Self-Government in the City of Yerevan”[1]. The relations of the sphere of public administration in the regions of the Republic of Armenia are regulated by the decree of the President of the Republic of Armenia “On public administration in the regions of the Republic of Armenia”[2] and other legal acts.
There are departments of cultural management in the structure of regional administrations. The governor is the main person responsible for regional administration and implementation of cultural policies. Governors implement the government’s regional policies, coordinate the activities of regional services of executive bodies, conduct regional cultural politics, which should not contradict the general vision of state policy in its goals and objectives.
Thus, the regional administration ensures the implementation of the state cultural policy in the territory of the region, organizes public cultural events related to state, national and other holidays and memorial days, contributes to the restoration and dissemination of national rituals, exerts power established by law for the preservation and utilization of historical and cultural monuments located in the territory of the region, and organizes the construction, maintenance and operation of cultural objects and recreation areas for the territory of the region.
