The new draft law regulates the activities of the police and expands its capabilities and functions for more effective activities, Andranik Kocharyan, chair of the parliamentary committee on defense and security, My Step ruling bloc MP, said Monday at the Armenian parliament.

According to him, this legislative initiative is very important and necessary amid ‘guerrilla activities.’

The proposed draft law proposes to provide the Armenian police with the opportunity to independently listen to the phone talks of citizens who are held as suspects in a particular case.

According to the deputy, it will be possible to save time that is spent on contacting the National Security Service to provide the required funds on their part, and conducting organizational work.
