Yerevan, 8 December: The Armenian parliament has adopted a draft
law, which has been initiated by the republic’s ruling coalition,
on changes to the law on parties in its first and final reading.

The draft law envisages strengthening of the parties. It particularly
says that a party cannot have less than 2,000 members, including no
less than 100 members in a region. The draft law also says that the
currently operating parties have to meet the requirements considered
by the changes to the law on parties during a year after the law
takes effect.

Armenia’s Justice Ministry has registered 65 parties up to now.
