Armenian MP Babken Tunyan Says Betting Companies Will Work as Usual Until November 2020

Babken Tunyan, chairman of the Armenian parliamentary commission on economic issues, has announced that the betting companies will be able to work as usual without fear of any consequences until November 2020. According to him, after November 2020, the number of betting points will decline.

“Each betting company will be able to have one office in each administrative district of the capital, the regional center and in the four cities specified by the bill, where special gambling zones will be created,” Tunyan said.

“Initially, we believed that the law should immediately enter into force, but after discussions with experts and specialists, we came to the conclusion that we should wait, because this is a licensed activity, and we are not entitled to prohibit or restrict it right away,” Tunyan added.
