YEREVAN, May 14. /ARKA/. Armenian Government approved the amendments to the country’s laws about civil service, declaring of property and income of individuals, as well as to the Criminal Code. The draft laws are to be submitted to the parliament.
It is a quite serious step as approval of these draft laws means introduction of an interest revelation institute in Armenia, the country’s Premier Tigran Sargsyan said at the government meeting.
According to him, the package creates real mechanisms for official persons, including parliament members and ministers, not to conduct business, define their interests and settle the issues with affiliated people.
This is done to enable the public maintaining full control over observance of constitutional norms in the country, the Premier said.
The draft law package has also anti-corruption content and the authorities undertake the obligation to apply the respective mechanisms.
Undoubtedly, there will be a need for public discussions to be held on the matter in the future to make the society aware of the mechanisms to be applied, the Premier added.–0—
