    Armenia's Armed Forces Can be Used in State of Emergency: Amendment
    Bill Struck Down

    01.30.2014 18:22 epress.am


    Note, the 7 MPs of the Armenian National Congress faction had raised
    the issue of involved the armed forces in a state of emergency, asking
    that this provision of the law be annulled.

    At the government meeting, RA Minister of Justice Hrayr Tovmasyan said
    the issues raised by the initiative were discussed during adoption of
    the law.

    "These deputies are addressing the matter of using armed forces during
    a state of emergency and are offering other options. This question has
    been discussed repeatedly; it is derived from the Constitution,
    according to which armed forces, in addition to territorial security,
    also ensure domestic security," said the minister.

    According to the government's rationale, the Armed Forces of the
    Republic of Armenia can be used in case of an armed attack on Armenia,
    when there is imminent danger of attack or during a declared state of
    war or martial law, as well as in case of a declared state of
    emergency. When a state of emergency is declared, "the state
    authorized Republic of Armenia defense body's human resources,
    technical and transport means can be used also with weapons and
    ammunition."
