YEREVAN, October 18. /ARKA/. Armenian government approved Thursday the bill on local self-governance and territorial administration in Yerevan, Armenian Justice Minister Gevorg Danielyan said Thursday at a governmental briefing.
“The necessity of the new law emerged after Armenia’s population approved constitutional amendments at the 2005 referendum”, he said.
Danielyan said that the law changes the indirect status of the capital – from the status of a separate part to the status of a municipal unit with 11 administrative regions instead of 12 communities.
The minister said that some changes will be made in administrative division. For example, former Nubarashen community will join Avan and Nork Marash will join Erebuni.
“Each of these administrative units will has a council. The number of this council’s members will depend on the number of the district’s residents”, Danielyan said.
He said that councils of those administrative units having less than 75,000 residents will be made up of ten members, those having up to 100,000 residents will consist of 12 and more members and 15-member councils are intended for communities with over 100,000 residents.
Yerevan’s council will be composed of 55 members.
Danielyan said the bill will be put on National Assembly floor very soon. M.V.-0---
