Stepanakert , 31 May: Members of the Nagornyy Karabakh republic [NKR]
national assembly [parliament] have adopted a number of draft laws.
The NKR parliament press service reported that under the amendments
made to the NKR law on language, the use of foreign words and phrases
in public transcripts of organizations and bodies rendering services
in the republic has been banned.
The MPs believe that this will allow to ensure the dominance of the
Armenian language and develop the language thinking.
The draft law co-sponsored by MPs Vahram Atanesyan and Yuri Hayrapetyan
to make amendments to the NKR law on ombudsman is aimed at brining
the current law in line with the provisions of the constitution,
the co-authors think. While the previous law provided that the
[NKR] president and the MPs were to jointly nominate a candidacy for
ombudsman, the new law envisages that only the MPs will be entitled
to nominate a candidate [for ombudsman], based on a relevant provision
of the NKR constitution. An ombudsman should be at least 35 years old.
Under the amendments made to the NKR law on social security of
servicemen and their families, more people will enjoy privileges and
guarantees; there will be more privileges and larger amounts to be
paid as benefits.
