Lustration Legislation Not Current Issue, Armenia Government Concludes

The Government of Armenia at its meeting today discussed the draft legislation on lustration proposed by the Heritage Party’s parliamentary faction.

The executive concluded that the issue is not current and there’s no need to approve the bill, according to the Government of Armenia official website.

As previously reported, the draft Law on Lustration aims to declassify individuals who worked for the Committee for State Security, intelligence services and investigators of the former Soviet Union before the Sept. 21, 1991 referendum on Armenia’s independence.
