Parliamentary majority rejects bill by opposition MP

ArmInfo.On September 9, the first meeting of the 8th session of the National Assembly of Armenia  of the 8th convocation opened with the parliamentary majority rejecting the bill submitted by opposition MP of the Hayastan faction Gegham Nazaryan . 

The bill, which proposes to establish guarantees for family members  of servicemen killed in the defense of the Republic of Armenia, the  conditions and procedure for providing them, as well as sources of  financing, received a negative conclusion from the NA Standing  Committee on Defense and Security on September 6.  As Deputy Minister  of Labor and Social Issues David Khachatryan stated at the time, the  justification for the draft does not include the need to adopt a  legal act, the current situation and problems, the policy implemented  in this area, the purpose, nature and expected result of the  regulation, in connection with which the government proposes to  refrain from adopting the draft.

As Nazaryan pointed out, legal relations in this area, concerning  guarantees and benefits for family members of deceased servicemen,  are still regulated by separate articles of various laws, decrees of  the government, ministries and local governments. Due to their large  number and , both beneficiaries and executors are lost  in them. There are even decisions that were adopted by the government  and then successfully forgotten, he added. In this vein, he proposes  to unite all existing legal norms, to adopt one - the main legal act  regulating all necessary aspects.
