ArmInfo. In Armenia, court decisions should not affect the tender process for selecting a gambling operator, as stated by Rafael Gevorgyan, Deputy Chairman of the State Revenue Committee, at a meeting of the RA NA Committee on Economic Affairs on February 4.
According to him, the State Revenue Committee had announced a tender for the selection of a gambling operator, which would regulate the gambling market for 15 years. Key responsibilities include: developing a unified digital infrastructure for all casino and prize-game organizers, monitoring and reporting data on all market participants, including stakes and winnings and ensuring transparency and oversight across the industry. The package of amendments to the laws "On the Regulation of Gambling Activities," "On Procurement," and "On Public-Private Partnership," as well as changes to the Civil Procedure Code, is aimed at addressing these issues.
However, as Gevorkyan noted that some market participants are trying in every way to resist the innovations. The proposed amendments specify that judicial lawsuits will not suspend the tender process. While claims can still be filed and heard in court, they will no longer have the power to freeze the selection of the operator. It should be noted that the Commission has approved the presented package and recommended its discussion in the National Assembly within 24 hours.
