Newspaper: New regulations expected for Armenia public officials

YEREVAN. – Past daily of Armenia writes: According to Past newspaper’s information, a draft version of a bill on the application of legislative regulations to officials is being discussed by the authorities.

To our knowledge, these regulations shall apply to officials who theoretically and practically possess, or may possess, state secrets.

It is envisaged to clearly define the list of those officials, as well as the scope of applying certain restrictions on them during and after their tenure.

According to our sources, representatives of pro-Western NGOs have been actively promoting this topic in the backstage.

In fact, if such an initiative is to be implemented, it will be possible to limit the capacity of public officials to freely move and engage in activities in the future.
