PRIME MINISTER COMPLAINS ABOUT FLAWS IN NOTARY SYSTEM
Tert.am

There is a public discontent about notary services in Armenia, the
prime minister has said.
Speaking at the cabinet meeting on Thursday, Tigran Sargsyan said a
recent monitoring has revealed large-scale corruption in the system.
He said the sums charged for notary services exceed several times
the government-approved tariffs.
The government is proposing legislative amendments to reduce the
internship terms for notaries (the existing system envisages one year
internship with notaries before a qualification exam).
Justice Minister Hrayr Tovmasyan told the cabinet that the notary
offices in the regions are facing a shortage of human resources.
"We don't have people with one year internship experience. With
no amendments to the system, we may have a shortage of notaries in
several regions. We propose reducing the internship period, enabling
lawyers with five years' professional experience to take qualification
exams without additional internship with notaries," he said.
