“We are a new organization and we need such meetings.\u00a0They are also effective because you meet representatives from other organizations with whom you can find ways to collaborate.\u00a0The idea of \u200b\u200bincubators is good, we have great hopes to record results,” Ms Karine Davtyan, founder of the \u201cWomen’s Rights House\u201d NGO in Gyumri said.<\/p>\n
