Tsarukyan faction lawmaker introduces bill on banning same-sex marriages in Armenia
Tsarukyan faction lawmaker Tigran Urikhanyan has put today into circulation a bill on making changes in the Family Code. The bill offers banning same-sex marriages in Armenia.
The lawmaker said that the Article 11 of the code defines the circumstances banning marriages but the same-sex marriage ban is not defined.
“As a main cell of society, as a basis of maintenance and reproduction of the nation, family must always be under special protection of the state. To protect the formation of traditional Armenian families from all possible dangers, it is necessary to ban same-sex marriages by the law,” he said.
The bill is yet to be discussed at the NA’s State Legal and Human Rights Protection Standing Committee.
