ARMENIA'S LAW ON PERSONAL GUARDS NEEDS AMENDING

Ten thousand people will lose their jobs if the Law on Personal Guard
is not amended, as no necessary conditions for licensing security
guards are available.
According to the law, all the organizations rendering security services
are to be licensed from January 1, 2013, Hovhannes Petrosyan, Head
of the Association for Training Personal Guards, told journalists
on Friday.
"Our priority task now is to ensure transitional provisions in the
law after which the law will be amended. The law contains numerous
points that need to be harmonized with Armenia's Constitution and
other laws," Petrosyan said.
The lawyer Nazeli Vardanyan says nothing has been done for facilitating
practical application of the law. One of the problems is that all
the security organizations are obliged to get licenses.
Mher Kakosyan, Deputy Director of the ArmMobil security service,
says that one more problem is that even watchmen have to carry arms.
"Under law, all the security guards have to carry arms. But they have
to take four-month training courses," he said.
