The new legislative package proposes to prohibit the conduct of business and the provision of services with the use of vehicles, in the case of drivers using foreign driver's licenses, with the exception of drivers engaged in international transportation, said Deputy Chief of Police Hovhannes Kocharyan on Tuesday at the Armenian parliament.

According to him, such prohibitions will not apply to citizens of the Eurasian Economic Union member states, but only if a mutual friendly approach is shown by these states.

“I think you know that the citizens of Armenia in Russia have a similar problem, and it has not been resolved for a long time,” he noted, adding that this regulation must be applied to ensure a balance between the parties. 

According to the official, the national driver’s license issued in other states that are not partners of Armenia under some international deal will operate on the Armenian territory on a reciprocal basis, if the copy of the certificate with an Armenian translation, approved in the prescribed manner, is provided.
