the mortgage market will enable to extend the terms of crediting to 30
years. At present, mortgage credits are provided for the maximum
period of 10 years in Armenia. T. Sargsian said that the RA National
Assembly passed in the first reading the legislative package on
regulation of mortgage market. "Thanks to regulating the legal
