Let’s Complicate the Process of Obtaining a Driver's License, It’s Very Cheap and Easy: Andranik Kocharyan

The rising number of car accidents is beginning to pose a threat to national security. This was stated today by the chairman of the National Assembly's Defense and Security Committee, Andranik Kocharyan, during a committee meeting.

“This situation can arise when you come face-to-face, resulting in a lack of compromise, under the influence of drugs and alcohol. What should we do to solve this problem? For example, the French have partially abandoned their points system; they hit the wallet hard, and if you violate a rule, you face hefty fines. We do not know how to yield, we do not know how to drive properly, but we still manage to get our licenses. Let’s complicate the process, it’s very cheap and very easy to obtain. Maybe it’s worth thinking about,” said Kocharyan.

Touching on the incident that occurred yesterday at the police department in Nor Nork, Kocharyan said, “Our operational bodies need to increase the scope of their discoveries as soon as possible. I want to remind you that our committee wanted and did something in the past; we provided the Ministry of Internal Affairs with an additional tool—wiretapping capability. Let’s do this.”
