YEREVAN, MARCH 18, NOYAN TAPAN. The RA National Assembly on March 18
passed a number of bills and legislative packages (discussed on the
same day), by which amendments and additions are made to some laws.
In particular, a package of government-proposed amendments to the RA
Code of Administrative Infractions, the RA Criminal Code, and the RA
Law on Currency Exchange Regulation and Control was passed in second
reading and completely.
Based on it, greater responsibility is envisaged with respect to
persons who violate the requirements of the currency legislation.
The bill on amendments to the Law on State Registration of Property
Rights was passed in second reading and completely, by which the
provisions stipulating the grounds for appointment and dismissal
of heads of the State Cadastre of Real Estate and its territorial
units were declared invalid, with the aim of eliminating the possible
contradictions to the RA Law on Civil Service.
The parliament also passed in first reading the government-proposed
bill on an amendment to the RA Law on Provision of Apartments Built
for Refugees Displaced from the Republic of Azerbaijan in 1988-1992 to
Refugees with the Right of Ownership. According to the main speaker,
first deputy minister of territorial administration Vache Terterian,
the studies show that within the period envisaged by law, not all
refugees have applied for being provided the apartments they occupy
with the right of ownership, so in order to solve the problem of
privatization, it is proposed extending the deadline for presenting
applications until June 30, 2010.
