The National Security Service is doing everything to reveal the details of the crimes committed against the presidential candidate Paruyr Hayrikyan. The first deputy-head of the National Security Service Romik Harutyunyan said in the National Assembly on February 7 in response to the question of Nikol Pashinyan, the member of the “Armenian National Congress”. The deputy-head of NSS added that he cannot give more information.

Prior to that R. Harutyunyan, as a side reporter, presented the opinion of the government concerning the changes and amendments in the “Law on State and official secrets” presented by the members of the Republican Party. On that issue his opinion was again very laconic. He said that the government considers the changes appropriate.

It should be noted that the current changed derive from the obligation to make the current law in compliance with the Constitution after its 2005 changes and the March 6, 2012 decision of the Constitutional Court. Hence, in particular, it is offered to state that the list of information considered a state secret is approved by the government and is subject to publication.

It is also offered to add “The encipherment of the information is done in accordance with this law. The criteria of the information listed as a state or official secret is by the virtue of fact established by the relevant competent authority”.

The Government decisions, in particular the March 13, 1998 decision of the RA Government about the list of information considered state or official secret, prior to the Constitutional charged were ratified by the RA President. But taking into account the constitutional amendments of 2005, this law should also be ratified in accordance with the new regulations.

The proposed changes also derive from the March 6, 2012 decision of the Constitutional Court by which the provision of the Law on State and Official secrets - “The lists of the institutions are enclosed and not subject to disclosure” is considered in violation of Article 27 and 43 of RA Constitution.
