Legislative amendments have recently been made in the legal regulation regarding the activities of non-governmental organizations, namely, the adoption of the new law on “Non-Governmental Organizations”, which was adopted in February 2017 (the law is available at https://www.arlis.am/documentview.aspx?docid=110802). In addition, on 16 January 2018, the National Assembly of the RA adopted other amendment in the second reading as well.
