Armenia's defender of Human Rights office today made a statement
calling property confiscation by State Revenue Service
anti-constitutional. The matter is that Armenia's State revenue
Service has the right to freeze property of those private businessmen
and organization whose unpaid tax amount exceeds 500 thousand AMD or
higher. Ombudsmen office has checked the constitutionality of the
Articles 30 and 31 governing the process above-mentioned. As Ombudsmen
office notes Article 31 of RA constitution prohibits confiscation of
property except cases provided by the court. Directly pointing to the
notion that confiscation includes the type of freeze of property which
basically excludes chances for use of that same property, Human Rights
Defender's office proclaimed State Revenue Service actions
anti-constitutional. The office has applied to Armenia's Court of
Constitution to check the constitutionality of the actions.
