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.

By this project we’ll try to restore justice, and depositors will get an opportunity to receive money for that day.”
