The draft law on making amendments and additions to the RA Land Code was presented in today’s Standing Committee on State and Legal Affairs meeting.

“Under this draft law, the sale of border lands to juridical persons and organizations will be prohibited: they are only able to make use of the land,” said sponsor of the bill, Armenian Revolutionary Federation (Dashnaktsutyun) MP Ruzanna Arakelyan, today.

Taking into account Armenia’s issues with its neighbours, this bill, according to Arakelyan, will also resolve the country’s security issues.

Arakelyan added that, in drawing up the draft law, she used Turkey’s, Iran’s and European countries’ practices.
