The initiative is aimed at providing better services for our citizens: The RA Deputy Minister of Justice Armenuhi Harutyunyan said, presenting the proposed addenda and amendments to the RA Civil Procedure Code for debate in the first reading.

According to the rapporteur, new regulations are designed, according to which the persons participating in the case will more fully exercise their procedural rights.

According to Armenuhi Harutyunyan, it is also planned to carry out notifications by telephone or Internet connection, for example by sending a message. The latter will be possible if the party provides the court with their phone number or e-mail address.
