“Archives are an inseparable part of bureaucratic reform because they are included in the president and vice president’s work priority for 2019-2024. Archives have an important role and are part of objective stored information of all occurrences in the country and in the world that are collected from the regions, from history, politics, socio-economy, science and technology.
