DUSHANBE, December 27, 2013, Asia-Plus — Ministers, department heads, and local officials are expected to begin to give news conferences on the results of work carried out in 2013 in mid-January.
We will recall that President Emomali Rahmon in March 2005 signed a decree obligating ministers, department heads, and local officials to give quarterly news conferences.
But by president’s decree issued in September 2011 ministers, department heads, and local authorities now give news conferences twice a year – in January and July.
The decree also notes that in case of necessity, ministers and department heads may give news conferences several times a month.
