Debate 🇦🇲 Armenia

An Armenian bill would double the fine for a small amount

Hayk Sargsyan, of the governing Civil Contract party, presented amendments in second reading to a parliamentary committee. The fine for making, acquiring or keeping a small quantity for personal use would rise from 200,000–400,000 drams to 400,000–800,000, and to as much as 1.6 million for a repeat within a year. Selling through Telegram would bring five to ten years where it now brings three to six, and selling to minors eight to fifteen.[1]
