The Yerevan-based bank said in a press release that it will zero all accumulated fines and penalties on these loans.

The bank asked all these borrowers to visit a branch of the bank to conclude reconciliation or on-lending contracts. Under these contracts the bank will cede the penalties and fines accumulated in the past, and while the borrowers will have to pay the principal amount of the loan in accordance with the procedure and new repayment schedule to be set by the new contract.
