ArmInfo. On April 30, the deputies of the Armenian parliament adopted
in the second and final reading the draft law on alterations and
amendments to the Armenian Criminal Code. As Armenian Justice Minister
Gevorg Danielyan said in his speech, the government offers to make
amendments to the Criminal Code regarding responsibility for taking
bribes. According to the acting law, only officials were responsible
for getting bribes. But a number of posts have found themselves
out of the given law, first of all, directors of enterprises and
organizations, which earlier were not considered to be officials. The
given item meets all the international standards, the minister noted.
