YEREVAN. – The concept of “moral damage” will expand considerably in Armenia’s laws.

Deputy Minister of Justice Arman Tatoyan on Tuesday stated the aforementioned at the National Assembly, as he introduced the draft amendments to the Civil Code.

In his words, the current Armenian legislation’s notion of “moral damage” solely includes encroachment upon personal liberty, attempted murder, inhuman treatment, and unfair trial.

Pursuant to the draft amendments, however, compensation will be permitted to be claimed in Armenia also for the violation of personal or family life, dwelling, inviolability of property, freedom of thought, conscience and speech, and the right of assembly and demonstrations.
