    SERGO YERITSYAN: BUSINESS DOES NOT PROTECT INTERESTS OF ARMENIAN LANGUAGE

    Business does not protect the interests of the Armenian language,
    Sergo Yeritsyan, Head of the State Inspection for Language, said at
    the seminar on Bologna Process principles on Nov 4-6, in Yerevan.

    He said that companies are reluctant to hang shop-signs in Armenian
    alongside with the English. Legal loopholes are obstacle to the
    efficient fight of the State Inspection against such violations,
    he said.

    "To impose a fine on a company, we have to petition the court. Some
    judges protract trials for a year or more," he said. Yeritsyan recalled
    that the court is currently considering a total of 38 cases.

    Yeritsyan thinks that a Law On State Inspection for Language
    would allow avoiding the court. So far, the Inspection acts on
    the basis of the following laws: On Advertising, On Language, On
    Administrative offences and On Organization and Conduct of Inspections
    at Organizations in the Territory of Armenia.

    "Now, we are studying a package of bills implying increase of fines
    to 400,000 drams," Yeritsyan said.
