PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES ON ADMINISTRATIVE CODE
Support A1+!Today Armenian parliamentarians discussed the proposal on inserting changes to the Administrative Code with the purpose to regulate the traffic. In part, the amendments provide for major penalty for those who drive cars with “modern” signals, black curtains and glasses as well as other novelties.
Taking into consideration the fact that the installment of a “modern” signal costs at least $50 it becomes clear what part of the population the measures are referred to. However along with the limitations the size of the penalty for other violations reduces.
The legislative changes allow the citizen to pay the penalty on the spot. He can also refuse to pay the penalty, challenge the policeman’s activity or pay it somewhere else. Thus the government wished to eliminate the “atmosphere of impunity.
However during the parliamentary debates deputies of the Orinats Yerkir Faction spoke against the above mentioned changes. They consider that the measures are too strict and do not defend the rights of the society.
