Justice to be established – interests to be paid to Armenian depositors for first day

YEREVAN, January 23. /ARKA/. The National Assembly of Armenia amended Thursday at the first reading the Civil Code. Thanks to the amendment, depositors will have interests also for the first day of their deposits.
