NATIONAL ASSEMBLY PASSES IN FIRST READING BILLS ENVISAGING AMENDMENTS
AND ADDITIONS TO A NUMBER OF LAWS
YEREVAN, NOVEMBER 3, NOYAN TAPAN. At the November 2 special session,
the RA National Assembly passed in first reading the bills, which were
discussed during the previous four-day session and which envisage
amendments and additions to a number of laws.
The bill on amendments and additions to the RA Criminal Executive Code
regulates issues related to conditional early release of persons after
serving their term in a disciplinary battalion. According to the bill,
in particular, after the end of the period of punishment stipulated by
law, the commander of the disciplinary battalion shall exmanine, within
a month, the issue of conditional early release of the convict, who has
no disciplinary penalty, and in case of a positive decision, the
commander must present a petition to court, asking for a conditional
early release of the convict. In case of the petition’s rejection, the
petition of the same contents may again be presented no earlier than 6
months after the court’s decision.
The package on amendments and additions to a number of laws on military
service was adopted with 76 votes in favor, 26 against and 3
abstentions. As was announced the day before, the "ARF, "Orinats
Yerkir" and "Heritage" factions voted against the package: they mainly
objected to the fact of including some legislative amendments, which
are not related logically to each other, in one package.
