Ministry of Internal Affairs established in Armenia

YEREVAN, December 16. /ARKA/. The Armenian parliament has passed today in the second and final reading a bill on the establishment of the Interior Ministry.

The bill was endorsed by a vote of 67 to six. Deputy Justice Minister Arpine Sargsyan said that several amendments have been made to the bill after the first reading. In particular, the paragraph on migration and labor policy was removed from the functional base of the Ministry of Interior, taking into account the fact that it should be formed by the Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs.

Earlier, the government approved a plan to eliminate the Ministry of Emergency Situations and create the Interior Ministry that will consist of three structures: Police, Rescue and Migration Services.

The new ministry will be responsible for public order protection, crime suppression and detection, disaster risk management, migration and citizenship, management of state reserves and humanitarian issues.

The ministry will have anti-corruption and internal security units, which will ensure the quality control of the entire ministry. The entire process will take as many as four months.

Besides, the Armenian government adopted a draft law according to which the State Protection Regiment will be withdrawn from the National Security Service and become a body subordinated to Prime Minister
