ArmInfo. Mopeds, tricycles, and ATVs will also be subject to mandatory insurance in Armenia. At its March 20 meeting, the RA National Assembly Committee on Defense and Security approved the amendments to the law "On Compulsory Motor Third-Party Liability Insurance" (CMTPLI) submitted for second reading by the RA government.
Presenting the amendments, RA Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs Armen Ghazaryan emphasized that no changes had been made to the document for the second reading. The Deputy Minister emphasized that there has been a recent increase in the number of road accidents involving mopeds, tricycles, and ATVs. As of March 1, there were 2,594 officially registered two-wheeled mopeds, 29 three-wheeled mopeds, and 127 tricycles and ATVs. Their traffic volume on the country's roads is rapidly increasing, yet only a small portion of these vehicles are insured. Meanwhile, mopeds, tricycles, and ATVs have become an integral part of road traffic. The proposed regulation, as the Deputy Minister noted, will allow for more precise monitoring of the situation on the country's roads. Monitoring will be carried out using technical equipment from the Patrol Service of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
The issue will now be discussed at the plenary session of the National Assembly, which begins on March 24.
