ArmInfo.The Criminal Code of Armenia has regulations according to which crimes have a limitation period.
This was stated by Gevorg Petrosyan, MPof the Prosperous Armenia Party, faction during a meeting of the State Legal Committee. He noted that, however, there are such crimes that are very dangerous. <I propose amendments to the Criminal Code, according to which certain crimes cannot have a limitation period. I believe that one of these crimes is the overthrow of the Constitutional system. In order to take into account all the pros and cons, I consulted with well-known lawyers, and they supported this position>, Petrosyan emphasized.
The MP said that the government also responded to this proposal. <They did not like this legislative initiative. Representatives of the government, in particular, said that, since this is not a crime against humanity, and they do not see the need to make such changes in the Criminal Code. I believe that the overthrow of the Constitutional system is a huge crime against the state. If there is a threat to the Constitution, the state weakens. Therefore, I believe that the adoption of this legislative initiative is mandatory>, Petrosyan emphasized. The latter also emphasized that his initiative is not directed against certain people. < I just want that every person will know that if he tries to overthrow the Constitutional order, this law will hang over him like a sword of Damocles, and he will be punished for it,> Petrosyan concluded.
